3:58Now PlayingFormer Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, a night focused on fighting “for our freedoms,” from democracy to reproductive rights and more.
"Let's get the hard part out of the way," Duncan said at the start of his speech. "I am a Republican, but tonight I stand here as an American."
Duncan said his focus was to send a message to the other Republicans who might be watching. "If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves, our party is not civil or conservative. It's chaotic and crazy, and the only thing left to do is dump Trump."
"To my fellow Republicans at home that want to pivot back towards policy, empathy and tone, you know the right thing to do. Now let's have the courage to do it in November," Duncan said in conclusion.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will also formally accept the vice presidential nomination, a day before Vice President Kamala Harris takes the stage as the official nominee.
