Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is announcing his support for President Joe Biden’s re-election bid.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Kinzinger — a sharp critic of former President Donald Trump and member of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S Capitol — wrote, “As a proud conservative, I’ve always put America’s Democracy and our Constitution above all else.”
He also shared a video where he noted he has differences with the current president’s policies.
“It’s because of my unwavering support for democracy that today, as a proud conservative, I’m endorsing Joe Biden for re-election,” Kinzinger said. “I know that he will always protect the very thing that makes America the best country in the world: our democracy.”

By contrast, the former congressman insisted Trump “doesn’t care about our country, he doesn’t care about you” and “only cares about himself.”
The video then mentioned the Jan. 6 riot and broke up Trump’s joke about being a dictator for a day.
Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement, “Our campaign is proud to earn the support of Congressman Kinzinger, a true public servant who is a model for putting our country and our democracy over party and blind acquiescence to Trump.”
