There are perfectly rational reasons why someone who supported the GOP prior to Donald Trump’s rise would consider voting for Joe Biden as the lesser of two evils. And more and more old-school Republicans, it seems, are starting to figure this out.
In fact, The New York Times’ David French has explicitly made this case. As French notes, Biden’s support for Ukraine against Russia is more consistent with a Reaganite foreign policy. And if you’re a fiscal conservative, both Biden and Trump have spent like drunken sailors (with Trump being the bigger spender).
Trump’s character deficiencies are another obvious problem for social conservatives who, after all, railed against Bill Clinton. On the other hand, the issue of abortion is a litmus test preventing many Republicans from voting for Biden.
