Anti-Trump Witness Cassidy Hutchinson Says She Won’t Vote For Trump — Will ‘Absolutely Consider’ Voting For Biden
Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said she has “completely shut the door” on voting for former President Donald Trump — but will “absolutely consider” voting for President Joe Biden.
Cassidy Hutchinson is the former top aide to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who provided bombshell testimony to the January 6 committee.
Hutchinson was a guest on Wednesday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, after news broke that Meadows and six others were indicted in Arizona.
In her extensive interview with Hutchinson, anchor Kaitlan Collins also asked Hutchinson if she would consider voting for Biden:
COLLINS: It’s safe to say you’re not going to be voting for Donald Trump.
HUTCHINSON: My door is and has been completely shut to voting for Donald Trump in 2024.
COLLINS: Does that mean you’ll consider voting for President Biden?
HUTCHINSON: I would absolutely consider voting for President Biden.
I would encourage — I would never tell Americans how to vote. But I do know there are a lot of Americans, who currently are on the fence, about who to vote for. And these are active conversations that we need to engage in over the next six, seven months.
But I would encourage people on that fence, to really do a deep dive, and look at the damage that Donald Trump has done to our democracy, and what he would continue to do, in a potential second Trump term, and to really weigh that when they’re considering who to vote for.
COLLINS: And to tie all this together, the fake electors scheme, Trump running for office again. The people that he’s been considering for vice president, we’ve interviewed some of them, and asked would you do what Mike Pence did on January 6th. Several of them have said no.HUTCHINSON: I mean, the soul of the Republican Party has been completely usurped and taken advantage of by Donald Trump. And that’s something that he has done somewhat successfully. I will give him credit where it’s due.
He is a very good liar and manipulator. And he has manipulated the entire — almost the entire Republican Party, especially in Congress, right now, to be the party of his image. And it’s really unfortunate that we see a lot of individuals, who I once regarded as noble statesmen, or the future of the Republican Party, to disregard the rule of law and the Constitution, in the way that they are now.
Hutchinson has previously said she would not vote for Trump, but at the time hoped he would not be the nominee.
“I think everybody should vote for Joe Biden if they want our democracy to survive,” she told Jen Psaki in November.
