Geoff Duncan reiterated his support for President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> in the 2024 presidential election and encouraged other Republicans to join him.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2993438\/former-georgia-republican-lieutenant-governor-backs-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>published an opinion piece<\/a> that revealed he would be voting for Biden over former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>, the presumptive Republican nominee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>in the election this November<\/a>. When asked why other Republicans should also support Biden over Trump this November, Duncan stated that Trump is not the future of the Republican Party, and that he did not represent the party when looking back at his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s a fake Republican, he\u2019s proven that over and over and over again,\u201d Duncan said on CNN. \u201cHe simply wants the position of president to be powerful, and he\u2019s willing to lie, cheat, and steal for it. And if we\u2019re going to fix this party and go forward, the party that is conservative but not crazy and angry, we\u2018ve got to do it without Donald Trump. And I know it makes sense to try to elect a Republican to be the president, but if we can get past Donald Trump, have a Republican-controlled Congress, we can have a firewall in place and then we can take the next four years to fix our party and get a legitimate candidate forward that can lead us in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Duncan explained that many Republican voters are frustrated with Trump and the control he has over the party, and argued that these voters need to \u201ctake our medicine\u201d to move on from the former president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s painful, it hurts, it sometimes maybe doesn\u2018t seem like it makes sense, but if we\u2018re going to heal, we\u2018ve got to move past Donald Trump,\u201d Duncan said. \u201cHe\u2018s taking us to the bottom of the ocean and some of us don\u2018t even realize it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his view, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/2992010\/trump-outpacing-biden-in-voter-trust-ahead-of-2024-election-poll\/\" title=\"continues to lead\">continues to lead<\/a> Biden in polls of registered voters.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan is one of several Republicans who have said they will not support Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/2929090\/trump-couldnt-care-less-pence-wont-endorse-him-we-dont-need-weak-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>with Mike Pence<\/a>, Trump\u2019s former vice president and former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/candace-owens-teases-presidential-run\/\" title=\"Candace Owens Teases Presidential Run\">2024 presidential candidate<\/a>, being one of them.
