A once-committed MAGA foot soldier abandoned Trump — and will be a key part of the Democratic National Convention Monday, the New York Times reported.
“I was quite deep into that world,” Rich Logis told the news outlet, describing how his “MAGA second family” could take “precedence over my own blood family.”
The Florida businessman volunteered for Trump, contributed to his campaign and fundraisers of his supporters. On Monday, he will describe his experiences to delegates in a video testimonial.
In 2021, as MAGA went down the anti-COVID vaccine rabbit hole, Logis lost faith. And he described it as emerging from a cult.
“All of these various pathologies about sex and race and Christian theocracy,” he said, “it keeps adherents in this constant perpetual state of desperation and feeling very panicked and hopeless.”

Logis is now vice chair of Florida Republicans for Harris and runs a nonprofit group called Leaving MAGA, the Times reported.
“There has to be an offramp,” he said. “There’s got to be a place for them to go, to make it just a little bit easier for them to leave. Because it’s not going to be easy at all.”
