Former Florida Democratic Rep. Peter Deutsch stated on Monday that he is endorsing President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Deutsch revealed the news during a Trump campaign call to mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas’s terror attacks on Israel.
“I feel very comfortable today publicly announcing that I’m endorsing Donald Trump to be reelected as president. I’m planning on voting for him on Nov. 5, and I take this decision very, very seriously. I also feel 100% comfortable with the decision,” he said, according to Newsmax.
“By far, the driving force for me to make this decision is what I believe is the most important factor in being president, the most important job of being president, which is really world peace,” Deutsch continued.
The ex-Democrat represented Florida’s 20th District for 12 years between 1993 and 2005. Deutsch argued that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies are making the world less safe, including the United States.
“As recently as yesterday, President [Joe] Biden saying that Israel should not attack the nuclear sites in Iran, where President Trump spoke yesterday, literally, the exact opposite position, that that is the appropriate place for Israel to strike in terms of what happened last week,” he continued.
“And this is the country that the Biden administration and [Vice President] Kamala Harris are effectively defending today — not yesterday — today. They continue to defend them,” he added.
Deutsch is among a growing number of former Democrats to support Trump’s comeback bid for the White House.
RSBN reported in August that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. formally announced that he was suspending his campaign and endorsed Trump.
Speaking to supporters, RFK Jr. shredded the Democratic Party and its blatant installation of Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee. He also slammed what the party has become. “It became the party of war, censorship, corruption, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Money,” he stated.
RFK Jr. was running for president as an Independent. He originally switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Independent in October 2023.
Former Hawaii Democratic congresswoman and former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard also endorsed Trump. Both Kennedy and Gabbard have since campaigned with him and were named to his presidential transition team.
