Two big names are joining an effort to get you to the polls: Alabama native Lionel Richie and former President Donald Trump.
It’s part of Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill’s annual campaign to promote voter participation. But some are questioning why Merrill chose Trump.For the last seven years, several well-known people have participated in these voting public service announcements, but this is the first time a former president and potential future political candidate has been included.And the list of participants only grew from there.
Shapiro is not alone in his frustration. Merrill’s office has received questions and complaints about the choice to use the former president, who questioned legitimate election results and is currently the subject of multiple investigations. Merrill said he reached out to President Joe Biden and other former presidents, including Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, all who Merrill says declined to participate. The current commercial with Trump was filmed last November during Merrill’s visit to Mar-a-Lago, according to a“Whether you like him or not, he was president. He’s always going to be the president. And he may be the president again,” said Merrill.
