Bret Stephens finally reveals if he’s for Trump or Kamala

New York Times columnist Bret Stephens on Monday revealed his pick for president this November: Kamala Harris. Stephens, a long-time conservative writer timehe made the disclosure in a conversation with a fellow columnist Gail Collins.

“Please don’t tell me you’re going to ask me how I’m going to vote,” Stephens begins in the conversation published on the opinion pages.

“Well, Bret, why would you imagine such a thing? Just because I keep getting stopped by people on the street, demanding to know if you’re going to support Kamala Harris. I’m not making this up,” Collins replied, adding, “Come on. Give us a clue.”

Stephens then made the revelation:

Kicking and screaming, I will be voting for Harris.

I really would have preferred to stay out on election day. But January 6 and electoral denial are unforgivable. And like my friend Richard North Patterson likes to say: “donald trump it is literally madness.” And what madness brings in its wake is JD Vance, whom I find worse than Trump, because he is just as cynical but twice as brilliant. And what also brings in his step is Tucker Carlson and the defenders of Hitler that he likes platform.

Stephens, an ancient Wall Street Journal sole editor and editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post, he ended the conversation by making it clear that he will not enjoy a Harris presidency. Stephens offered Harris some unsolicited advice on how to best beat Trump, adding:

I also think he needs to avoid gimmicks, like his recently announced plan to extend financial aid directly and preferentially to black men, including fully forgivable loans. It’s blatantly unconstitutional, a bare political pander, and economically damaging because forgivable loans reduce incentives to work and succeed. It’s also dumb politics: it alienates voters who are tired of identity politics as the dominant mode of liberal thought and government.

I’m really not going to like his presidency, am I?
