In O'Dea's first interview with 9NEWS since he launched his campaign 11 months ago, he backed off his pledge to vote for former President Trump if Trump is the 2024 nominee. O'Dea says he'd prefer someone else but would no longer say if he'd vote for Trump if he's nominated.

Was your interview supposed to unbiased? Because you need to work on that if so 😂 I like a lot of what you do but your hatred of republicans doesn’t help our community at all

Hi Katie. C'mon. I don't hate my friends and family. Let's move beyond hyperbole and discuss a specific concern about the interview. My job is to ask politicians questions they may not want to answer (ie Rep Herod yesterday on rent control/single family zoning/racism in policing)

It’s a tough balance because his stance incorporates an inconsistent rejection of the right to life, and local news media won’t even ask if the unborn have any rights in this debate.

In other words. He's a moderate dining against a leftist activist.
