Former Politicians Shift Stances on Trump

The ongoing discourse surrounding Donald Trump and the upcoming election reveals a split among Republicans, with some embracing him and others, like David French, maintaining a Never Trump stance. French argues that Trump's alignment with traditional Republican values is often overlooked, while critics like William S. Cohen express concerns over Trump's fitness for office and the implications of Kamala Harris's foreign policy. Harris is gaining traction in polls against Trump, reflecting a possible shift in voter sentiment, as seen in her campaign's strategic focus on appealing to disenchanted voters from the GOP. Former Never Trump supporters, like David Hadley, are now endorsing Trump, citing his past presidency as more effective than anticipated, despite acknowledging his divisive rhetoric. This election cycle appears to be a litmus test for the future of the Never Trump movement and the Republican Party's ideological direction. The stakes are high as both sides grapple with the implications of their choices on national and global stages.
