A New Flood Of Republicans Endorse Kamala Harris For President
In 2020, a similar group of about 150 George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney alums pledged their support for President Joe Biden, USA Today reported. The new letter, with 238 signatures, includes aides to both Bushes.
The current letter, obtained exclusively by USA Today, was released Monday, August 27, 2024. The letter noted that its 2020 declarations “stated the plain truth,” that re-electing Trump “would irreparably damage our beloved democracy.”
That was months before Trump’s lies about the election “became everyday talking points” and before he “incited an insurrection, cheering on a mob of sore losers and sycophants as they tried to use force to overturn the will of the American public,” the letter states.
We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. 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.
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.
