WASHINGTON, DC
Gen. Colin Powell speaking recently on CNN’s “State of the Union” set off a Trump tweet when said he would be voting for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
“I certainly cannot in any way support President Trump this year,” said the former secretary of State under former President George W. Bush.
Powell, a Republican, said he did not vote for Trump in 2016 and said the situation has “gotten worse.”
Powell joins other high-profile current and former military officers who are critical of the way Trump is handling the nationwide protests over police brutality that broke out after the killing of George Floyd.
And the president has drifted away from it,” Powell said.
