That stampeding sounds voters across the Grand Canyon State hear.
That is the sound of McCain and Mainstream Republicans flocking to join the Democratic Presidential ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Mesa Mayor John Giles, one of the founding members of the Republicans for Harris Arizona Chapter spoke at the Democratic National Convention last month.
Hundreds of others in Arizona and across the country, including members of Trump’s first Administration, the Bush Administrations, and the Romney and McCain Presidential Campaigns are supporting the Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Former Senator Jeff Flake supported the Biden/Harris ticket in 2020.

Speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper, Lieutenant McCain, an Army Intelligence Officer, first voiced outrage over the Trump’s visit to Arlington National Cemetery in an apparent campaign photo op, calling it “a violation.”
He went further, saying when someone, like Trump, makes such a visit “political, you take away the respect of the people who are (buried) there…Show respect and leave. It doesn’t need to be videoed.”
When asked if he would think better of Trump if the Republican Presidential nominee apologized, McCain responded:
“Look at his history toward veterans…The answer is no.”
When asked about Trump’s attacks on his father and other veterans and whether that helped propel him to join the Democratic Party, McCain replied:
“What Trump said about my father is [reprehensible]. I mean, I’ve never forgotten it and to remind everyone, John McCain was my father as well, and he was the guy I went to when I skinned my knee. So to hear those things said about him, I could never forgive. The one thing about John McCain is that he cared about his country and he lived his life that way.”
“I care about my family. I care about equal rights of everyone in this country. As much as I stayed as an independent, I decided that it was time to move on and do what I believe in. The point – the fact of the matter that he [John McCain] said it constantly is ‘country first’. You have to think about your country first…Care about your country. Care about making it better. Not being divided but being together as one. To continue to be the greatest country in the world.”
On explaining why he is supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, he commented:
“I feel that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz embody a group of people that will help make this country better, that will take us forward. And that’s really what matters at the end of the day, is voting with your heart, voting how you feel going forward. And that’s how I feel.”
