Colin Powell (Républicain): « Trump s’est écarté de la Constitution », et va voter pour Joe Biden
La colère gronde aux États-Unis après la mort de Georges Floyd, cet Afro-Américain asphyxié par un policier blanc. Les manifestations se multiplient dans des centaines de villes au son de « Black Lives Matter » (La vie des Noirs compte) : Minneapolis, Washington, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles…
A cinq mois de la présidentielle, Donald Trump dénonce les pillages et menace d’envoyer l’armée. Son rival, le démocrate Joe Biden, critique la réponse sécuritaire et dénonce un racisme institutionnel. La société américaine est-elle raciste ? Quel impact pour la présidentielle?
Saying Trump ‘drifted away’ from Constitution, Colin Powell picks Biden
CONCERNED REPUBLICANS
Several Republican groups have formed to oppose Trump’s reelection, including a super PAC, the Lincoln Project, and a new initiative called Republican Voters Against Trump, which last week kicked off a $10 million digital ad campaign.
“There are legions of privately concerned Republicans in Washington,” said Tim Miller, who advised Republican Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign and helped launch Republicans Voting Against Trump.
“That doesn’t do a whole lot for me. If you’re not willing to say it, you may as well put on the red hat,” he added, referring to Trump’s signature campaign baseball cap.
Powell said he would vote for Biden, going a step further than some other Republicans who have said they do not support Trump but have not backed his Democratic rival.
