Carly Fiorina, the former 2016 Republican presidential candidate and CEO of Hewlett-Packard, said in an interview published Thursday that she intends to vote for Democrat Joe Biden this November.
Fiorina, who was also briefly Sen. Ted Cruzs (R-Texas) prospective running mate in 2016, said she will not vote third party and that shes been discouraged by President Trumps conduct in office.
Ive been very clear that I cant support Donald Trump, Fiorina said in an interview on The Atlantics The Ticket podcast. And elections are binary choices.
As citizens, our vote is more than a check on a box. You know, its a statement about where we want to go, and I think what we need now actually is real leadership that can unify the country, she added. I am encouraged that Joe Biden is a person of humility and empathy and character. I think hes demonstrated that through his life. And I think we need humility and empathy everywhere in public life right now. And I think character counts.
While Fiorinas endorsement of the former vice president will likely be dismissed, she has solid conservative bona fides. Fiorina ran as a Tea Party candidate for Senate in California in 2010 and voted for Trump in 2016 even after he famously mocked her 2016 campaign by remarking Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? The comment was widely derided as sexist.

(16,616 posts)3. Trump: "Look at that face"
Fiorina, a former Hewlett-Packard executive, had her own appearance attacked by then-candidate Trump during the 2016 election. "Look at that face," he told Rolling Stone magazine of Fiorina. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!"
When asked about the comment Thursday, Fiorina said she wasn't surprised by the insult.

The way things are going for the POS, even Rubio, Cruz and Graham will endorse Biden before the November election. Perhaps McConnell as well.

Has more in her little finger in running something of substance ( CEO of Hewlett Packard for 5 years ) than a clown who took over his fathers business and had major bankruptcys all over the place. Now hes fucking up our country in an unprecedented way.
