Longtime Florida Republican Mike Fasano Endorses Joe Biden

Lifelong Florida Republican @fasanomike made national news on Thursday, publicly endorsing Joe Biden for President. I sat down with earlier today and asked why he made this decision. @BN9

To his fellow Republicans, Fasano had this to say:

“I can appreciate Republicans not being happy with me. Especially those that have worked with me over the years. “I’ve heard from them. I’ve also heard from Republicans that have thanked me and tell me that they feel the same.”

Fasano says he did not vote in the presidential election in 2016. This year, he will vote for all Republicans on the ballot, except for president.

This is my tax collector. I'm shocked but pleased.

I think there may be many Florida Republican voters who will follow his lead and vote for all Republicans downballot but not vote for Trump.

I will be very pleased if that happens. But I am skeptical. I wouldn't have believed Mike Fasano would vote for Biden if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes.
