Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt said on Wednesday he is increasingly likely to vote for Donald Trump, in part due to new developments in the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton.
“I wait on events. I’ve been surprised so much in this race. I don’t have to cast my absentee for another four or five days and I wait on events,” Hewitt told MSNBC Live host Steve Kornacki on Wednesday afternoon. “I’m inclined to cast it for Donald Trump but I have to wait and see what happens in this.”
Just one month earlier, the Republican pundit had called on the GOP nominee to drop out of the race.
His newfound affinity for Trump is due in part to the candidate’s recent spike in the polls, as well as his revealing a “more disciplined” side of himself in public. Hewitt later took to Twitter to add the FBI’s re-igniting its probe of Clinton’s private email server and actions related to it have reminded him about who Trump is up against.
It takes a Democratic nominee under two active @FBI investigations. https://t.co/HUoqi5dztM
