Prominent conservatives are increasingly supporting Democratic candidates, particularly in the context of the upcoming presidential election. Notably, groups like Republican Voters Against Trump are heavily investing resources to sway center-right and right-leaning independents to support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.
