Over 200 Former GOP Aides Endorse Harris for President

Over 200 former aides to former Republican presidential candidates, President George W. Bush, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. 

The Details: The group did so in a letter that was first obtained by USA TODAY (Lean Left bias).

For Context: Their backing of Harris signals a crossover that transcends party lines and demonstrates an active opposition to a potential second term for former President Donald Trump.

Key Quotes: In the letter, they wrote, “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.” They also called on “friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family members to take a brave stand once more” and “vote for leaders that will strive for consensus, not chaos.”

How The Media Covered It: USA Today and The Hill (Center bias) offered brief descriptions of the letter, with a few key passages from it. Fox News (Right bias) included a response from Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung, who said, “It's hilarious because nobody knows who these people are. They would rather see the country burn down than to see President Trump successfully return to the White House to Make America Great Again.”
