Vice President Kamala Harris recently received endorsements from two former Republican elected officials, Waukesha, Wisconsin Mayor Shawn Reilly and former Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan. Harris expressed gratitude for their support, emphasizing that leaders from both political parties recognize the importance of the upcoming election and are endorsing her based on her commitment to upholding the Constitution and democracy.
Throughout her campaign, Harris has been actively showcasing endorsements from current and former GOP officials who are crossing party lines to support her bid for the presidency. Notably, former Rep. Liz Cheney, a prominent figure in the Republican Party, has been a vocal advocate for Harris on the campaign trail. Cheney, known for her previous leadership roles in Congress, endorsed Harris due to her concerns about the threats to American democracy posed by former President Donald Trump.
