Biden needs anti Trump republicans support to win.

(Nia-Malika, April 4, 2024, Bloomberg, “Anti-Trumpers Must Go Biden or Bust”, https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-04/anti-trump-republicans-who-care-about-the-country-must-support-biden)

In the handful of swing states that will determine who wins the White House in November, there is a sizable number of anti-Trump Republicans who could vote for President Joe Biden. These are the kinds of voters who held Donald Trump to under 80% in the Wisconsin primary this week.

High-profile never-Trump Republicans like Chris Christie, Liz Cheney, Mike Pence and Mitt Romney haven’t said whether they will vote for Biden, but they speak to some of the concerns and the possibilities these voters offer.

What would it take to prod these crucial voters to back Biden over Donald Trump? Will endorsements matter or will taking it to Trump on his character and the threat he presents to democracy be good enough?

Obviously, the biggest forces will be the campaigns and candidates themselves and what unfolds over the next seven months. These voters have shown an affinity for Nikki Haley and a distaste for Trump’s behavior and numerous character flaws. But, like their more famous counterparts, they aren’t completely sold on Biden, for a variety of reasons. At least not yet.
