Right after Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020, former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman got a phone call. Whitman, a Republican, had endorsed Biden in the race against then-President Donald Trump. Now, the caller said, Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris wanted her cell number.
No one ever called.
Whitman was part of a cohort of prominent Republicans who broke with the party in 2020. Fed up with Trump, they gravitated to Biden’s campaign thinking he would be a unifying figure.
Former Rep. Christopher Shays, a Republican from Connecticut, endorsed Biden in 2020 but says he is now leaning toward former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a fellow Republican. He plans to send Christie a donation and may actively campaign for him.
In January 2022, Shays sent a letter to former Sen. Chris Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat who helped lead Biden's search for a running mate. Shays wrote about two other Republicans who spoke on Biden's behalf at the Democratic convention in Milwaukee that year: former New York congresswoman Susan Molinari and ex-Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
"And this fact ... seems so hard for me to believe: both John Kasich and Susan Molinari told me that after they spoke at the Democratic convention in support of Joe, no one gave them any feedback on how they did, or just took the time to thank them, not the president or anyone one the staff, to this very day," Shays wrote.
Tom Coleman is a former Republican congressman from Missouri who endorsed Biden last time.
"They were going to stay in touch and I never heard back from them,” Coleman said. “I’m not upset about it, other than it would have been nice to say thank you after they won, but I’m a big boy, I don’t care.”

“For some Republicans who endorsed Biden in 2020”
If they endorse and vote for the other side, then they aren’t Republicans, are they?
Jeeze Louise!
Someone impatient enough can ask Soros or his sons “What is the national election result going to be in 2024?” Exact official vote counts can be given.
Spoiler: the Dems win and the country goes down the drain into Communism and concentration camps.
When you endorse and support a Democrat for the Presidency, you’re a FORMER Republican.
yep.
they thought they would be rewarded by the Dems? where have they been? truism: you can’t fix stupid.
Any Republican wh.o endorsed Biden should get the hell out of our party. We don’t need them. They don’t need us - and if they did need us, we’re NOT there for them.
“Former Rep. Christopher Shays, a Republican from Connecticut, endorsed Biden in 2020 but says he is now leaning toward former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a fellow Republican. He plans to send Christie a donation and may actively campaign for him.”
Hes not doing this seriously. Christie is not in this race to win, you idiot.
And nobody likes a traitor. Not even the people you aid with your betrayal.
When the USSR was still extant they had plans to execute the US traitors who helped them .. Ted Kennedy, etc. Read it from some ex-KGB official writing after the fall of the USSR. Traitors are used but never trusted. There’s a reason they go to the deepest depths of Hell.
Anyone who supported fool biden supported crooked elections.
Wassamatter RINOs? The 30 pieces of FTX cryptocurrency was bogus?
Boy this Shays guy sounds like a complete moron.
The term is useful idiots for the democrats. Also literally stupid people if they really believed Biden would be a good president and a uniter. And finally, empty suit and etthicless people who constantly told Republicans in the past that we had to vote for the Republican nominee, yet when they didn’t like the nominee, their real character came out. That is why the Republican Party is essentially useless to recover our country — it is made up of too many Todd-Whitmans, Ryans, Cheneys, McConnells etc.
They f’ed around and will now find out. Hopefully they are out of a job like Lez Cheney in their next re-election campaign.
“hey gravitated to Biden’s campaign thinking he would be a unifying figure.”
they had to be really, really, really, really stupid if they actually believed that ... and quite a boon to the GOP that people that stupid self-cancelled themselves ...
People don’t make follow up calls with whores to ask how they’re doing. Just ask Hunter.
Buh-bye, Johnny K and Suzy M!
Buh-bye shady Shays and Chrissy TW!
