Former ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said the Americans should vote for incumbent President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race, terming it a crucial move to safeguard democratic values.
What Happened: Hutchinson, in an interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, made an appeal to American citizens to back Biden in the forthcoming presidential race.
Though Hutchinson is not currently endorsing any candidate, she expressed her desire that the Republican nominee for the upcoming election would not be Trump.
"And the only reason that I will not endorse a candidate right now is because I still am hopeful that Donald Trump does not end up being the nominee next year. I think our country will be in a much better place overall.”
"But what I will say, too, though, is I think everybody should vote for Joe Biden if they want our democracy to survive," she added.

Why It Matters: Having previously held a significant position in the Trump administration as a top aide to Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Hutchinson has been vocal about her disapproval of Donald Trump. Her testimony before the House Jan. 6 committee on Trump's involvement in the U.S. Capitol insurrection has been a pivotal moment in the past year.
Despite being embroiled in multiple criminal charges, Trump remains a frontrunner in the polls for the Republican presidential nomination.
In September, Hutchinson also remarked that Trump "is the most grave threat we will face to our democracy in our lifetime, and potentially in American history."
