Wisconsin Senator Rob Cowles Endorses Kamala Harris

Senator Rob Cowles, a long-serving Republican from Wisconsin, has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president, emphasizing the need to defeat Donald Trump and protect the Constitution. Cowles, who will not seek re-election, described his decision as one of the most significant actions of his career, noting concerns about Trump's authoritarian tendencies. His endorsement sparked mixed reactions, garnering praise from Democrats, including Governor Tony Evers, while facing backlash from conservatives. Other former Republican leaders in Wisconsin, such as Sheehan Donoghue and Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly, have also voiced their support for Harris, citing Trump's self-serving loyalty over constitutional values. Cowles called Trump a 'totalitarian' and indicated he is prepared for potential backlash due to his endorsement. With the election approaching, Harris's campaign aims to attract independent and disillusioned Republican voters in the key swing state.
