Later in the day, Dick Cheney released a statement endorsing Harris.
He can never be trusted with power again.
As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution.
Deportations
Harris touted the endorsement in a statement from her campaign chair, Jen OMalley Dillon.
And thats an experience that Donald Trump has not had.
And I think that might be something that he thinks about a lot.
McCain served in the military for 17 years.
He is a war hero because he was captured.
I like people who werent captured.
When the senator died, Trumpreportedly toldhis staff: Were not going to support that losers funeral.
To my fellow Republicans, you arent voting for a Democrat; youre voting for democracy.
You arent betraying your party; youre standing up for our country, shesaid.
Troye resigned from the administration in 2020.
John Giles
The Republican mayor of Mesa, Arizona, endorsed Harris in anop-edfor theArizona Republic.
Now more than ever, we need leaders who will put country over party, he writes.
Vance and the far-right agenda they would champion.
Geoff Duncan
Georgias former Republican lieutenant governor endorsed Harris in an op-ed for theAtlanta Journal-Constitution.
He also spoke at the DNC.
Many asked if my choice to support Vice President Kamala Harris for president was difficult, hewrites.
Lets be clear: Theres not an ounce of regret in my decision.
Duncan was a prominentpublic criticof Trump following his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Shesaidthat Trump has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.
I love my country more than my party, Grisham continued.
Kamala Harris tells the truth.
She respects the American people and she has my vote.
Grishamresignedfrom her job as Melania Trumps chief of staff the evening of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
He added, Donald Trump is a weak man pretending to be strong.
He is a small man pretending to be big.
Hes a faithless man pretending to be righteous.
Hes a perpetrator who cant stop playing the victim.
He puts on quite a show but theres no real strength there.
Kinzinger is also a senior political commentator for CNN and a lieutenant colonel for the Air National Guard.
Barbara Comstock
Comstock, a former Republican congresswoman from Virginia, endorsed Harris in mid-August.
Thats why I will be voting for the vice president.
Ana Navarro
The Republican co-host of ABCsThe Viewand CNN commentator hosted a night of the DNC.
Navarro was recently in Florida as part of a bus tour in support of reproductive freedom.
She has criticized the former president for abortion restrictions, after his conservative Supreme Court appointees overturnedRoe v. Wade.
Does Donald Trump think were stupid?
Does he think we dont remember?
Listen, you dont get to create a problem and then pretend you have the solution.
In 2020, Navarropostedon Facebook: I love Kamala Harris.
I love her story.
He is also a former senator from Nebraska.
Denver Riggleman
The former Republican congressman from Virginia endorsed Harris in the beginning of August.
Trump endorsed Riggleman during two different races.
I was a proud Republican, but Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation, shesaidin a statement.

Hesaidthat Trumps response, or lack thereof, to the Covid pandemic was a turning point for him.
And I realized that he had been lying about pretty much everything, he said.

Thats why Im all in for Kamala Harris.

I am thrilled to support Kamala Harris, he said.
Shes a very good candidate, and has the possibility and potential of being an excellent president.
Obviously time will tell on that.
Shes speaking to our better angels, headded.
Trump, in my opinion, is doing the opposite.
Shays had previously considered backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a protest vote.
Joe Walsh
Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh visited New Hampshire in late August to campaign for Harris.
This aint about policy, hesaid.
I will not support Donald Trump for election, hesaid.

Shes not crazy, shesaid.

Thats to be expected.
The alternative, however, is simply untenable.
