Shawn Reilly, the mayor of conservative stronghold Waukesha, has announced his support for Democrat Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, another significant political shift in favor of the Democrat. Reilly said his decision stems from a deep-seated concern over the future of the country under former President Donald Trump.
Reilly, who has been a lifelong Republican, recounted his departure from the party after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. "It's difficult. The easy thing to do is just not say anything and cast my vote the way I want," he said.
