LEHIGHTON, Pennsylvania ¨C George Stawnyczyj voted for Donald Trump twice. On domestic policy, he gives the former president top marks. But he¡¯ll stay home on Election Day should Trump win his party¡¯s nomination to take on Joe Biden in 2024.
Stawnyczyj is an official in the Republican Party in rural Carbon County, Pennsylvania. He¡¯s also Ukrainian-American and can¡¯t stomach Trump¡¯s criticism of aid payments to war-torn Ukraine nor his habit of complimenting Vladimir Putin.
¡°The way Trump is talking right now, getting into bed with Putin, there¡¯s no way I can support him,¡± Stawnyczyj, a retired truck driver, said at his home in the Appalachian Mountains.
