Some Republicans turning to Hillary Clinton because of Donald Trump

Published May 4, 2016 This content is archived.

A story on ABC News about Republicans who plan to vote for Hillary Clinton now that Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee quotes James Campbell, UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science, who said he is “not surprised” that people are threatening to switch parties, but believes that “ultimately, they won’t.” “It’s very rare for partisans to vote for the other party’s candidate,” he said. “It’s much more likely they just decide not to vote at all. Tempers are hottest right around the time of the decision when people’s favorites lose and, in this case, candidates who are their least preferred candidates win. It’s kind of raw.”
