An African American who said he has been a lifelong Democrat announced his support for President Donald Trump this week.
Maurice Davis, a member of the Flint, Michigan, City Council, revealed the news before the start of a rally with Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday.
"Right now the narrative has been spent, President Trump is full of hate. Let me tell you something, the Democrats are full of hate," Davis said.
"I have been a Democrat all my life, 64 years. The last four years I voted for Hillary Clinton. This year I decided to go with President Trump. I am not a bootlicker, I am not an Uncle Tom."
Trump responded to the news on Twitter, saying "THANK YOU!" in a tweet Wednesday evening.
According to RealClearPolitics, polls show Trump trailing Democrat Joe Biden by 8.2 percentage points in the Great Lakes State.
