Geraldo Rivera says the platform plank on immigration rejects all notions of compromise.
www.foxnews.comGeraldo Rivera is not consistently aligned with one party; he has described himself as a Republican in the past, but his public endorsements have varied, including support for Democrats at times. As of late 2020s reporting, he has criticized Donald Trump and endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, indicating a shift away from rigid party loyalty. Rivera has labeled himself a moderate Republican at various points, supporting some social issues while staying fiscally conservative, though his voting history has shown bipartisan movements.[1][2][4]
Key points to know:
- Early in his career he identified as a Republican and registered as one in 2009, with a history of voting for candidates from both parties depending on issues and candidates.[4]
- He has criticized Trump and publicly expressed support for Kamala Harris in 2024, signaling a departure from full alignment with the Republican ticket.[1]
- He has described himself as a moderate on social issues (e.g., support for gay rights and Roe v. Wade) while favoring conservative fiscal policies, a stance that some outlets label as a “moderate Republican” characterization.[4]
