Melanie Barton-Gauss, a retired teacher from Florida, traveled to the City of Brotherly Love just weeks before the presidential election to spread her message of political conversion.Ā āAfterĀ Jan. 6, I did what in my family is considered unthinkable: I left theĀ Republican Party and joined the Democrat[ic] Party. And I left theĀ church.ā
Barton-Gauss is part of a bus tour across the key battleground state hosted byĀ Republican Voters Against TrumpĀ (RVAT). The group teamed up withĀ The Bulwark, a political outlet founded byĀ Never Trump Republicans,Ā for a series of podcast tapings and other events highlighting Republicans and former Republicans supporting Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris. Targeting lifelong members of the GOP who harbor doubts about anotherĀ Donald Trump term is a central strategy of the Harris campaign. RVATās organizers believe there are just enough of these right-leaning voters to push dead-heat swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin over the top for Democrats.

āAgainā? While Hilary won the popular vote, Trump won the college. Or are you referring to electoral interference by other state actors? While I donāt deny that it happened, Iām not convinced that had a material impact over, say Hillaryās unlikability with the electorate, coupled with her dreadful campaign messages, and pissing off likely voters with her high jinx during the primary. Also, she was a target rich environment for oppo research. The whole having a private and public position had real cut through.
