Kyle Rittenhouse says he will not vote for Trump

Conservative campaigner Kyle Rittenhouse says he will not vote for Donald Trump in November’s US election because he thinks the ex-president is “bad” at protecting gun rights.

Mr Rittenhouse, now 21, shot dead two men during racial unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. He was cleared of all charges the following year after arguing self-defence.

Instead of Trump, he plans to write in former Libertarian presidential nominee Ron Paul on the ballot.

Trump has repeatedly vowed to protect Americans’ right to own guns and to roll back Biden-era restrictions on firearms.
