Will John Kasich Bridge The Divide?
It has been making the rounds for some time that John Kasich, a Republican and former governor of Ohio, would be endorsing Biden and making a speech at the DNC convention in Milwaukee. This is supposed to help Joe Biden show America that he represents all corners of America. This is especially important to the Democrats since Joe Biden picked far left Kamala Harris as his running mate. The last I checked Kasich is on the list of people expected to speak. With the Democrats in such disarray as we have seen, whether this will change or not remains to be seen. It is unclear who is making the final decisions on convention speakers.
Kasich was approached last month about endorsing Biden and giving a speech. When he agreed, Kasich’s actions were characterized as “stunning and brave.” Kasich, a frequent critic of the Trump administration, has said he has “a right to define what it means to be a conservative.” With this I would agree since the last I checked the Democrats had not yet been successful at obliterating the First Amendment. Of course, it will be his definition of conservatism.
