DAILY WIRE – Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones endorsed President Trump on Tuesday, becoming the first Democrat in the state to buck his party and support the GOP president for reelection.

Jones touted Trump’s handling of the economy and issues impacting black Americans in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Georgia lawmaker represents a heavily Democratic district that covers parts of DeKalb and Rockdale counties.

“It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign,” Jones said.

“This is not about switching parties. There are a lot of African-Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” Jones continued. “When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows. That’s just a fact.”

Jones first won a seat in the Georgia legislature in 1993 and served until 2001 when he left to become DeKalb County’s chief executive. He stayed in that position until the end of his second term in 2009. He tried and failed to run for the US House and Senate and to be DeKalb County sheriff. He rejoined the Georgia House in 2016.

“A philosopher once said, ‘One courageous man in the crowd is a majority.’ I’ve got the courage to express my convictions,” Jones said. “I believe that Donald Trump is the best person to lead this country going forward.”

That’s fantastic! What great courage to buck his party like this.

I’m really hoping that Democratic endorsements like this are indicative of the wave of people who will break formation with the Democratic Party and vote for Trump in November.
