More than 200 former Republican staffers who previously worked for President George W. Bush, Senators John McCain, and Mitt Romney have signed a letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. The letter, published by USA Today, cited concerns about the potential impacts of another four years of chaotic leadership under Donald Trump, especially regarding national security and democracy. The staffers expressed their opposition to Trump’s foreign policy decisions and endorsed Harris as a better alternative.
In related news, Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic Hawaii congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, endorsed Donald Trump for president at the National Guard Association conference. Gabbard praised Trump’s courage and diplomacy efforts during his first term. She also expressed confidence in his understanding of the president’s responsibilities and his pursuit of peace through meetings with adversaries and allies.
Elizabeth Warren responded to JD Vance’s promise that Trump would veto any federal abortion ban, stating that American women are not naïve enough to trust the campaign’s promises on this issue. Warren criticized Vance and Trump’s stance on abortion rights and highlighted the potential impact their presidency could have on women’s reproductive health.
Additionally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to endorse Trump and withdraw from the presidential race received widespread criticism, including from his sister Kerry Kennedy and actor Billy Baldwin. The responses to Kennedy’s endorsement reflect concerns about the values and traditions of the Kennedy family. The backlash highlights the polarizing nature of the upcoming presidential election and the impact endorsements can have on public perception.
