Republican Mayor Endorses Kamala Harris With Ominous Warning: 'I Will Hold Fast to What Is Good'

8. I think it was pretty much implied with the Opinion Headline

A Republican Mayor’s Unexpected Presidential Vote

But also in what was written. The "expected" would be to support MAGA world's leader.

Doing a word search on Harris will completely miss the intent however.

The piece is done like a sermon where each paragraph begins with -

I took for granted that both leading candidates

He starts out claiming that during his voting life, he pretty much assumed "both sides" were the same (in a nutshell) and "took that for granted". But then almost every paragraph distinguishes the huge differences between the two this go-around.

For example -

I took for granted that both leading candidates would have no tolerance for political violence, extremism, conspiracy theories, racism, misogyny and bigotry. I took for granted that both leading candidates would not only keep their distance from such ideas and those who espoused them, but would actively denounce them if needed.

I took for granted that both leading candidates held a firm commitment to the U.S. Constitution. I could not have imagined a world where any leading candidate would have ever publicly called for the Constitution’s termination.

I took for granted that both leading candidates respected our military, would fulfill their role in our national defense and their obligation to guard confidential information they might have access to. I took for granted that both leading candidates valued our veterans and held most sacred our obligation to those who were captured or killed.

He didn't have to "name names".

(ETA - I looked him up and apparently he is a never-45er and a youngin' to boot - 45 years old and one of the rare "moderate" GOPers)
