In a surprising turn of events, several prominent Republicans took the stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to denounce President Donald Trump and endorse Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The group, consisting of former elected officials, strategists, and party members, expressed their discontent with Trump’s leadership and policies, citing reasons such as his handling of the pandemic, divisive rhetoric, and disregard for democratic norms.
Here’s what some of them had to say:
– “I’m a Republican, but I’m not a Trump Republican. I believe in country over party, and that’s why I’m endorsing Kamala Harris.” – John Kasich, former Ohio Governor
– “Trump’s failure to lead has cost lives. It’s time for a change. Kamala Harris is the leader we need.” – Meg Whitman, former Hewlett Packard CEO and California gubernatorial candidate
– “As a Republican, I’m ashamed of what our party has become under Trump. Kamala Harris represents the values of decency and integrity we need in the White House.” – Susan Hogan, former Maryland Senator
Their endorsements mark a significant shift in the political landscape, as some Republicans publicly reject Trump’s brand of politics and seek a new direction.
- This development raises questions about the future of the Republican Party and the potential for bipartisan cooperation in the years to come. One thing is clear: these former Republicans have made a bold statement by putting country over party and endorsing Kamala Harris.
