Harris woos Republicans where Washington crossed the Delaware

Harris was introduced by Pennsylvanian Bob Lange, a fifth generation Pennsylvania farmer, and his wife, Kristina. Bob said he voted for Donald Trump twice and Kristina voted for him once.

“I thought he’d fight for people like us, but it’s clear Donald Trump doesn’t care about helping hardworking people, and he certainly doesn’t care about our commonwealth and our Constitution,” Bob Lange told the crowd in Washington Crossing. “He only cares about what’s good for him. Jan. 6 was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.”

“Never in a million years did either of us think that we’d be standing here supporting a Democrat,” his wife added. “But we’ve had enough.”

In a previous interview with WHYY News, Greenwood, who was an early Republican “never Trumper” and now chairs “Republicans for Harris,” said that he hoped that, one day, the Republican Party would choose to move on, putting country over a divisive personality.

“The first order of business obviously is we have to get Donald Trump out of the way because he’s toxic,” he said. “He is a malignant narcissist, and he has dragged a whole bunch of frankly gullible people into believing the things that he has said.”

He added that he disagreed with some of Harris and the Democrats’ policies, but that Republicans in Congress could “temper” any liberal policies they might agree with.

“That’s the way the system’s supposed to work,” he said.

Kinzinger appeared to share Greenwood’s sentiment, giving brief remarks at Washington Crossing.

“Donald Trump may be running as a Republican, but the truth is, he does not share those long-held Republican values of supporting democracy, of standing for the rule of law and of faithfulness to the Constitution,” he said. “As a Republican, that saddens me. But what gives me hope is that there is a candidate in this race who does hold those values.”
