Texas ‘faithless elector’ becomes first Republican to pledge to vote against Trump

Written by Teunis Felter

A member of the electoral college in Texas has become the first Republican elector to declare that he will not cast his vote for Donald Trump, saying he “owes a debt to [his] children” not to select an unqualified President. Christopher Suprun, a paramedic and former firefighter who was among the first responders at the Pentagon on 9/11, said he would vote instead for a Republican “alternative” the country could unite behind, naming John Kasich as a possibility.
