Former Rep. David Trott wrote a scathing letter to The Atlantic in which he said he was thinking about voting Democrat in 2020.

for an article published Sunday, the former GOP congressman repeated his remark that Trump is"unfit for office" and claimed"a lot of Republicans feel the same way." He added,"But if they say that, the social media barrage will be overwhelming.", he said he decided not stand for re-election"as a Trumper" in 2018.

he"probably would have" backed Trump's impeachment if he still had a seat in the House of Representatives, and pointed to Michael Bloomberg as a Democratic presidential candidate he could back in 2020. Speaking to the local paper about Trott, Meshawn Maddock, co-founder of Michigan Trump Republicans and chairwoman of the 11th Congressional District Republican Committee, called the ex-congressman a"Democrat in disguise."

She told the newspaper:"We have always suspected that David Trott is not conservative. He's certainly not conservative enough for us in the 11th District."
