200+ Former Bush, McCain and Romney Staffers Endorse Harris

An open letter warned that a second Donald Trump presidency “will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions.”

238 Republicans who worked for President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) or the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, warning in a letter that a second Trump presidency “will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions.”

Text of the letter:

Four years ago, President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain, and then-Gov.
Mitt Romney alumni came together to warn fellow Republicans that re-electing
President Trump would be a disaster for our nation. In those declarations, we stated the
plain truth, each predicting that another four years of a Trump presidency would
irreparably damage our beloved democracy.

We made those announcements months before lies about a stolen election became
everyday talking points and six months before Trump incited an insurrection, cheering
on a mob of sore losers and sycophants as they tried to use force to overturn the will of
the American public.

We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020
statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President
Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November.

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.

At home, another four years of Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership, this time focused on
advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025 will hurt real, everyday people and
weaken our sacred institutions.

Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his
acolyte JD Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our
allies.

We can’t let that happen.

We know now, thanks to exit polling and voter data that it was moderate Republicans
and conservative independents in key swing states that ultimately delivered the
presidency to Joe Biden-honest, hardworking Americans in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and beyond that put country far before party.

We’re heartfully calling on these friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family members to
take a brave stand once more, to vote for leaders that will strive for consensus, not
chaos; that will work to unite, not divide; that will make our country and our children
proud.

Those leaders are Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.
