Former Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) has announced he will not support either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 election. In a CNBC interview, Toomey, who previously voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, cited Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results as the reason for his decision. He stated, “When you lose an election and you try to overturn the results so that you can stay in power, you lose me.”
Toomey, a fiscal conservative, also expressed concerns about Harris’s economic policies, which he described as potentially disastrous. However, he emphasized that his refusal to vote for either candidate doesn’t mean he supports Harris, arguing instead for the importance of Republican control of the Senate to check Harris’s agenda if she wins the presidency.
Toomey, who retired from the Senate in 2022 and was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial, believes that a Republican-controlled Senate is crucial to mitigating Harris’s potential policy initiatives, such as tax increases and healthcare reforms.
