Handful of swing states, its potentially those specific voters who will decide who wince. But maybe a better question to ask, who is the voter who voted for donald trump in 2020 but does not want to vote for him again in 2024. The New York Times and nbc have identified a batch of these very voters as have election pac Republican Voters against trump. Heres what some of them have to say.
