Senator Elizabeth Warren's challenger has declared that he is not going to vote for former President Donald Trump in November. But he is not going to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, either.

“Enough is enough. We need to stop thinking about the lesser of two evils,” John Deaton said in a recent episode of the CommonWealth Beacon podcast. podcast.

Deaton, who recently moved to Massachusetts, is a former U.S. Marine and cryptocurrency attorney. After winning nearly 65 percent He won probably the most votes within the Republican Senate primary over two other candidates and can attempt to oust Warren, who’s searching for her third term.

When the podcast turned to the presidential election, Deaton said he would “put a name in.”

“Someone who probably represents unity and not division. Someone who understands that we need to bring each other together,” Deaton said. “I don't think the two presidential candidates we have … I just see the fingers being pointed.”

When pressed for a solution by moderator Gintautas Dumcius, Deaton named former Governor Charlie Baker as a robust candidate, praising his high approval rating and talent to work with Democrats.

“I haven't thought about it that much, but the first name that comes to mind would be someone like Charlie Baker,” Deaton said. “Someone who obviously worked across party lines to solve problems.”

Deaton has described himself as a Baker-like Republican and made guarantees to cross party lines a central plank of his campaign. He said on the podcast that he was previously registered as an independent. If elected, he said, he would join with Democrats to forestall a nationwide abortion ban.

Deaton said on the podcast that he will not be a partisan person and called Warren “the extremist in this race.” He said the most important problems facing the country are the national debt, immigration, housing shortages, inflation and foreign wars.

“What we need is a socially moderate to liberal person who is conservative in fiscal policy,” Deaton said of himself.
