The Republican mayor of Sterling Heights, Mich., the fourth-biggest city in the state, is abandoning his support of President Trump and endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for president.

Michael Taylor, who cast his 2016 ballot for Trump, first told The Chicago Tribune of his decision on Monday, saying that he felt “Biden is the candidate who can unify all of the Democrats" and "appeal to moderates and Republicans like me who don’t want to see four more years of Trump."

He added in a tweet that he couldn't look at his three kids and tell them that he supported the president, whom he described as "deranged."

"I can't. I won't. I'm voting for Biden and endorsing him for President of the United States. I hope you'll join me," he said just a day before Michigan's presidential primary.

Taylor's vote on Tuesday will represent the first time he's ever supported a Democrat, The Tribune noted.
