Former GOP Officials Endorse Kamala Harris

A growing number of former Republican officials are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid against former President Donald Trump. Notable endorsements include former U.S. Senator Nancy Kassebaum from Kansas and three former chairs of the Maine Republican Party, who criticized Trump for his divisive politics and lack of civility. The Maine trio emphasized that Harris embodies the collaborative spirit and commitment to the rule of law that they feel is lacking in Trump, who they argue has transformed the GOP into an unrecognizable entity. Similarly, former Arizona County Attorney Rick Romley expressed his support for Harris, citing Trump's behavior and the January 6th insurrection as pivotal reasons for his endorsement. These endorsements reflect a broader sentiment among traditional Republicans who believe in putting country over party amidst a turbulent political landscape. The endorsements also highlight a significant rift within the GOP as more officials distance themselves from Trump’s influence.
