Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he will vote in November for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden rather than incumbent Donald Trump.

โ€œI cannot in any way support President Trump this year,โ€ Powell, who also did not vote for the Republican president in 2016, told CNN Sunday.

Powell, a retired four-star Army general who, under Republican President George W. Bush, served as the first African American secretary of state, said Trump said โ€œlies all the time,โ€ has โ€œdrifted awayโ€ from the U.S. Constitution and poses a danger to American democracy.

Trump responded on Twitter by calling Powell a โ€œreal stiff.โ€
