Over 200 Republicans Endorse Kamala Harris for President Over Donald Trump
Washington DC [US], August 28: Ahead of the presidential elections in November, over 200 Republicans who previously worked for former President George W Bush have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president instead of GOP candidate Donald Trump.
A group of Republican officials, including several former aides to President George HW Bush, urged moderate Republicans and conservative independents to support Harris. This group had previously opposed Trump in the 2020 election.
In an open letter published on Monday, they stated, “Four years ago, President George W Bush, the late Sen John McCain, and then-Gov Mitt Romney alumni came together to warn fellow Republicans that re-electing President Trump would be a disaster for our nation. In those declarations, we stated the plain truth, each predicting that another four years of a Trump presidency would irreparably damage our beloved democracy.”
They added, “We reunite today, joined by new George HW Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov Tim Walz this November.”
While acknowledging significant policy disagreements with Harris, the Republican officials emphasized that the alternative is untenable. “Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable,” the letter said.
Meanwhile, Trump accepted the debate with Harris, outlining specific conditions and rules for the face-off. Sharing a post on the social media platform Truth, Trump said, “I have reached an agreement with the Radical Left Democrats for a debate with Comrade Kamala Harris. It will be broadcast live on ABC FAKE NEWS, by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business, on Tuesday, September 10th, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.”
