RALEIGH, N.C. – A lifelong Republican on Wednesday said President Donald Trump is damaging conservatism and his Christian faith.

Mathew Biggie, 32, said he has never voted for a Democrat in his life. Rather than vote for Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, he marked his ballot in favor of Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson. This year, he said he plans to vote for Joe Biden. He said he cannot reconcile President Trump's actions with his Christian values of integrity, compassion, and humility.

“There is a lot of religious pageantry in what [Trump] does,” he says. “And that leads to people believing that Christians are largely represented by Donald Trump and the things that he does as president.”

Biggie has recently become active with Republican Voters Against Trump. The website features video testimony from more than 700 Republican voters who have chosen not to support their party's nominee.

The organization is an arm of Defending Democracy Together, an umbrella organization founded by former Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol.

Tim Miller, the political director for Republican Voters Against Trump, says the organization is meant to encourage conservatives to vote for Biden. He says President Trump and the Republican Party have betrayed the conservative ideals once espoused by Ronald Reagan and for this election, it's more important to get him out of the White House.

“There is now a whole generation of young people that is associating conservatism and conservative values with a man who has no character, who has no morals, who they are disgusted by,” he says. “Four more years of Donald Trump and there's not going to be any more conservatism left for people to fight for.”

A record number of people voted for third-party candidates in 2016, including Johnson, the Green Party's Jill Stein and independent Evan McMullin. Miller and Biggie both say given the country's current two-party system, supporting a long-shot candidacy is not an option.

“Casting our votes in protest ultimately led to Donald Trump winning the swing states that he needed in order to win the presidency,” Biggie says.

Biggie says he's leaning toward voting Democratic on down-ballot races as well, though he hasn't fully committed to doing so. He says he'll consider returning to the Republican fold if President Trump and his most ardent supporters are excised from the party.

Asked to comment on the efforts of Republican Voters Against Trump, Trump Victory spokesperson Gates McGavick said in a statement, “Low-level losers do not concern us. The President has record support from Republicans and will be re-elected in November.”
