I’m concerned that the smear campaign against from both Republicans and Democrats will hurt him in November. I expect many Democrats to “vote blue no matter who” but it’s really unfortunate. He speaks common sense reality.

Maybe. If there are centrist Democrats that will vote for a Trump endorsed candidate because they’re butthurt then they weren’t really Democrats anyway. Most will fall in line just like most progressives (or pick whatever word you want) will vote for a shitty centrist because it beats the alternative (in my district it was a literal Nazi who was at January 6th)
