Kamala Harris continues to consolidate her position as a presidential candidate, as she has not only achieved record donations, but He has also managed to attract the support of influential Republicans to his campaign.
Almost two months before the elections, A letter signed by a dozen Republican lawyers, many of whom worked in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and President Bush, announced their endorsement of Harris. In the letter, the lawyers expressed concern about the return of Donald Trump, arguing that his return would threaten American democracy.
“We support Kamala Harris and her election as president because Trump’s return to office would be detrimental to our Constitution and our institutions,” the signers said, urging Republicans and independent voters to prioritize the good of the country over partisan loyalties.
“Put love for the homeland above party and ideology, and join us in supporting it,” They said in the letter and recalled the tragic events of the storming of the Capitol after Trump lost the election in 2020, which these men have described as “an attempt by the tycoon to reverse the results and a serious violation of the Constitution.”
Following this, other Republicans took advantage of the criticism to express their reservations about the candidate nominated by the group. Several members of the party raised their voices against Trump and compared him to authoritarian leaders such as Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro and Nicolás Maduro.
One of these was Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary, who said she was a true Trump believer, but She realized that she is a person who “has no empathy, no morals, no fidelity to the truth. He used to tell me: ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you.’ But it does matter: what you say matters, and what you don’t, too,” she said.
Harris will have her first major interview as a candidate alongside her running mate, Tim Walz. The highly anticipated interview will take place on Thursday night on CNN.
On the other hand, Trump assured that he “reached an agreement” with Kamala Harris, to maintain a televised debate on September 10, While the vice president’s team has not confirmed such a deal, the tycoon said that during the showdown with Harris, which will be broadcast on ABC, there will also be no audience in the studio and each candidate’s microphone will be muted when the other speaks.
