Washington, Aug 24 (AP) Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Flake was one of President Donald Trump's most consistent Republican critics in the Senate.
He penned an Op Ed in The Washington Post in support of Trump's impeachment. Flake retired from the Senate at the end of his term in 2019, saying he was out of step with the Republican Party in the era of Trump. He later wrote a book, “Conscience of a Conservative,” that was a critique of Trump.
