Historian Jon Meacham was selected by the family of George H.W. Bush to be the official biographer for the president. He as chronicled presidents from Jefferson to FDR to Andrew Jackson to Lincoln.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer has not been shy since the rise of Donald Trump on the political scene — and the threat to democracy he poses — about where his sentiments lie regarding the state of our nation and who should lead it.
During an appearance Monday on “Morning Joe,” Meacham made an impassioned statement about the upcoming election, saying that his political leanings haven’t moved. The political right has, though.
He weighed in with advice for those who haven’t quite made up their minds between the two major presidential candidates by saying that people should simply “vote for Harris.”
Meacham acknowledged that it likely is difficult for those who have never voted for a Democrat to do so.
He said we are in as important a test of citizenship as any moment he could think of in American history.
“There is a sane vote here and then there is risky vote,” Meacham said. “I just don’t see what’s the upside here of voting for Trump if you are in fact a center-right person or centrist — period.”
