Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harrisā campaign on Sunday is launching āRepublicans for Harrisā as she looks to win over Republican voters put off byĀ Donald Trumpās candidacy.
The program will be a ācampaign within a campaign,ā according to Harrisā team, using well-known Republicans to activate their networks, with a particular emphasis on primary voters who backed former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The program will kick off with events this week in Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Republicans backing Harris will also appear at rallies with the vice president and her soon-to-be-named running mate this coming week, the campaign said.
The Harris campaign shared the details of the program first with The Associated Press before the official announcement.
I am no fan of conservatism but itās nice to see a level headed conservative in the wild. Since weāre stuck with this two party bullshit I would love to see a functional Republican party who can compromise with Democrats and move the Overton window left.
Actually my real dream is for the party to implode, and the Democrats become the conservative party and then thereās an actual left party as the other. Iām sure youād like the conservative Democrats. Theyāre like the Republicans were 40 years ago.
I always wonder - these ālevel headed conservativesā - voted for Trump anyhow right? Were they frantically writing letters to their representatives asking them to stop turning their party into a racist authoritarian laughingstock these past few years?
Nah. Iāll die of old age before I could be convinced to trust a Republican, and I will never again miss any election, from local on up, to ensure that I vote for anyone, anyone at all, who isnāt a Republican.
I live in an entirely Democrat-run state. Thereās no Republican for me to write anything for.
When you live in Democrat-only land, it becomes easier to see the flaws and why a 2nd option is important.
Democrat Governor, 2x Democrat Senators, Democrat Representative, Democrat Mayor, Democrat Board of Education, Democrats on the judiciary, etc. etc.
I never voted Trump. Even in 2016 I saw he was shitty. But McCain was a reasonable option vs Obama and the Ukrainian War proves Obamaās folly in foreign policy and inexperience. McCain in 2012 could have prevented a lot of problems.
Iāll allow that you are a unicorn, but clearly folks are voting for the crazies, and I doubt many of them are doing so while also asking them to be less crazy.
A large number of Republicans are pissed at Trump but are begrudgingly going to vote for him.
Nearly my entire Republican social circle is āI donāt like Trump but ā¦ā
Which there is a degree of bullshit here no doubt. But at least some of them have to be telling the truth about their feelings.

The good news is that the āButā¦ā is 'But Hunter Bidens Laptopās, or āBut Hilary Clintons Emailsā.
Very few are actually admitting to āBut DEI hireā or other Kamala attacks. Honestly, the Trump Campaigns insults are completely flat vs Kamala. Even amongst Republicans in my experience.
The thing about Republicans is that we are open about bluster vs closed door politics. You canāt necessarily pay attention to what people bluster openly.
That is good to hear, thank you!
