Hes particularly concerned about rising health care costs associated with the Affordable Care Act and the influence of money and corporations on politicians.
I just want them to do what they say they're going to do, Vice said of elected leaders. I'm tired of all these years of being lied to.
He said he couldnt see himself voting for a Democrat, because he hasnt seen them condemn the violence associated with protests after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd, a Black man, died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

And were running for the Senate as a Democrat, this guy would not vote for him. Youre not going to get through to these people. It is just as likely that you would vote for Trump as he would for Biden so dont worry about it. Focus on the people who inexplicably are in the middle.

He had no plans on voting Democratic anyway. If it wasn't the protests it'd be some other reason.

You know so he can be protected by the Coronavirus and with Donald Trump's power to turn everything into a victory what could go wrong.
