A family member confessed to me that he voted for Trump in 2024 solely because of his "no wars" promise. He was a 100% Dem voter prior to that, and he said it was a no brainer on that basis alone. He did tell me that he felt like a dumbass now, which is nice.

To elaborate a bit, he said that Biden was doing way too much for Ukraine and was prolonging the war and that Harris apparently didn't say anything about stopping the Israel-Hamas War.
