Republican Divisions and Support for Kamala Harris

A significant open letter signed by over 200 Republicans warns against the potential consequences of a second Trump presidency, emphasizing concerns about its impact on everyday citizens and the integrity of democratic institutions. This group includes former staffers from prominent Republican figures such as George W. Bush and John McCain, who previously endorsed Joe Biden during the 2020 election. Their recent endorsement of Kamala Harris is not based on her specific policies, but rather reflects a belief that the alternative would be unacceptable. This situation underscores the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party regarding Trump’s influence and the future direction of the party.
