Over 200 Aides from Bush, McCain, and Romney Camps Endorse Vice President Harris

In a surprising turn of events, more than 200 former aides from the George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, and Mitt Romney administrations have publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. This information comes from The Hill and reveals that most of these individuals also supported President Biden in the 2020 election.

Public Letter of Endorsement

A letter released on Monday and initially reported by USA Today, the group reiterated their opposition to Trump and their support for Harris. The letter reads, "Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable." The letter goes on to express concerns about another four years of Trump's leadership, suggesting it would lead to chaos and weaken institutions. They argue that Trump's focus on advancing the goals of Project 2025 would harm everyday people. Internationally, they fear democratic movements would be jeopardized as Trump and his supporter JD Vance show favor to dictators like Vladimir Putin and disregard allies.

Call for Consensus

The group implores their friends and colleagues to vote for leaders who will strive for consensus rather than chaos. They believe that moderate Republicans and conservative independents were key to Biden's victory in 2020. In a separate endorsement, Alexander S. Vindman announced his support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for President.
