Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson announced in TV hits Wednesday night and Thursday morning that she will vote for Kamala Harris in November and said the country needs to focus on defeating the former president.
Hutchinson, who gave bombshell testimony about Trump and his allies to the Jan. 6 House select committee, explained her reasoning during an interview with Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC. “I’ve known for quite a long time, number one, that I would never in my life vote for Donald Trump ever again,” she said.
“I don’t ever want to try to tell somebody how to vote,” Hutchinson, who worked for Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, said. “But in my experience, number one, from being up close to Donald Trump, seeing his character, knowing who he is, believing him when he tells us who he is, and also who he chose as his vice presidential running mate—JD Vance, who’s a whole separate conversation—it’s just a despicable portrayal of the Republican Party.”
