Republican alumni 'are forming groups to support Joe Biden' | Sky News AustraliaUS Studies Centre Non-Resident Fellow Kim Hoggard says the Democrat and Republican Parties are delivering the American public a 'split-screen image' of what is occurring in the United States. \n\nMs Hoggard told Sky News there were vastly different responses coming from the Democrat and Republican Parties on issues including the coronavirus pandemic and the riots breaking out across the nation. \n\n“We have to say that the Republicans could change that slogan to make America scared again,” she said. \n\n“There is a heightened rhetoric that is becoming quite dangerous.” \n\nShe said while Donald Trump was using the White House as a “backdrop” to his convention, there were a number of key Republican figures who didn’t voice their support for his re-election campaign. \n\n“Some of the silence is deafening, look who wasn’t here at the convention, some of the more traditional Republicans and some of the presidential hopefuls,” Ms Hoggard said. \n\n“We’re seeing more and more alumni of Republican leaders, such as George W. Bush … announcing that they were forming groups to actually support Joe Biden, this is unprecedented. \n\n“Of course the Republican Party has been a fractured party for a few decades … but what we’re seeing in the contrast of thee two weeks of conventions… are really contrasting visions and versions of America.” \n\nImage: AP\n\n
