“My name is Kevin. I live in Arizona. I am a retired Lutheran Church, Missouri Senate pastor. After 46 years, I am a former Trump voter, and the more I saw of Donald Trump, the more I came to realize my vote was a mistake. And he was not the man to be president then. And he’s certainly not the man to be president now.

“I mean, consider the things which bother me about him. First of all, he has no empathy for others. He’s in it for Donald Trump, not for any US citizen. He wants power, he wants ego, and Donald Trump will do anything to get it. Secondly, he has no morals. Now, I realize having morals is not a prerequisite for the presidency.

“Many men who have been president have not been the most moral men, but his goes to an extreme, and when I look at the fact that he’s a convicted felon, that he’s committed fraud, probably theft, certainly sexual harassment, and a multitude of other things. Keeping secret documents in Mar-a-Lago. I cannot support a man who does that, so I cannot support Donald Trump.

“Also his character, he acts like a petulant child who is having a continuous temper tantrum. The insults Donald Trump throws out. The mocking that he does of others, including veterans and the disabled. His temperament is not one which I want to see in the White House as a man who holds the power of the office as Donald Trump would and did.

“And finally, his overall character as President Donald Trump. As president represents me, he represents our country. And I do not believe he is a fit representative of the values and traditions we hold dear. So for those reasons, I cannot support Donald Trump in 2024.

“And this is why I am going to vote for Kamala Harris. I believe she has the experience in running government and being in government, which Donald Trump did not have and which he did not grow into. And so for those reasons, I’m voting for Kamala Harris. It’s not a vote against Trump so much as it is a vote of confidence in her that she will do what is right for our country over the next four years.”
