Republicans in Iowa pledge support for Joe Biden during virtual event
DES MOINES, Iowa
A group of Iowa Republicans met virtually Tuesday to pledge their support for Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden.
The meeting was part of an event hosted by the Biden campaign called "Republicans for Biden."
Among the attendees were former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and former Iowa Congressman Jim Leach.
Both criticized President Donald Trump for what they called a lack of leadership and explained why they will be voting against their party this year.
"One of the reasons I support Joe Biden, and it's really hard when you're a Republican to support a candidate of another party, but Joe really does symbolize this notion of wanting to bring this country together," Leach said. "And we have a president that wants the country divided."
Leach added Biden also symbolizes "sheer decency."
