Four years after endorsing President Trump in the 2016 race, an Asian American GOP group says it is now backing Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
The National Committee of Asian American Republicans announced on its website that it is encouraging its thousands of members to support Biden this year.
"We don't need a smart-pants president who knows everything including the best medicine curing COVID-19, who empowers only his base to run over political opposition," the group wrote. "We need a president with empathy, integrity, and broadness capable of bringing all sides to the table to find common ground, and work together overcoming serious challenges ahead."
"It is OK that you voted for Trump in 2016, most conservatives did; we wanted an outsider to rattle the system. But he is destroying the whole building," the statement at the top of the group's website reads. "It is also fine you disagree with many Biden's policies. It is about whether America is still THE America. The future of our families, our communities, our great nation, and the World is at stake!"
The end of the post concludes: "Vote for Joe Biden, SAVE AMERICA!"
The group previously endorsed Jeb Bush in the 2016 Republican primaries before backing Trump in the general election.
