111 Former Republican Officials Back Kamala Harris, Condemn Trump as 'Unfit for Office'
In a remarkable display of political realignment, over a hundred former Republican officials and ex-Congress members have thrown their weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris, citing Donald J. Trump's 'unfitness' for the presidency.
The letter, a bold statement of dissent, was signed by a diverse group, from long-time Trump critics to those who had previously remained neutral. It highlighted Trump's 'dangerous qualities', including his affinity for authoritarian leaders and his disregard for ethical norms. The signatories painted a damning picture of his presidency, accusing him of 'promoting chaos, undermining allies, and prioritizing personal interests over American values'.
The letter's release follows similar endorsements from former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, who both expressed their support for Harris. This wave of Republican dissent adds a new layer of complexity to the upcoming election, as it showcases a growing divide within the GOP.
Among the 111 signatories are prominent figures who served under Republican administrations, such as defense secretaries, CIA directors, and national security officials. The list includes names like Chuck Hagel, William S. Cohen, and Michael V. Hayden, adding significant weight to the endorsement.
What's particularly notable is the inclusion of Republicans who had not endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, indicating a shift in their political stance. Former House members like Charles W. Boustany Jr. and Barbara Comstock are among those who have now publicly declared their support for Harris.
While the Republicans acknowledged concerns about the left wing of the Democratic Party, they emphasized that these 'potential concerns' are dwarfed by their reservations about Trump. This endorsement is a clear signal of the deep divisions within the GOP and a potential game-changer in the 2024 election.
