Voters need to remember that many mainstream Republicans are not supporting a failed President and spring American Fascist Duce Donald Trump.
That includes many of the people who once worked for him in his first Administration including his own Vice President (Remember ‘Hang Mike Pence’,) his two Secretaries of Defense, one of his chiefs of staff, two of his national security advisors, and press secretary.
The growing group also includes members of the McCain, Romney, Bushes, and Reagan campaign and governing orbits including Liz and former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senator Jeff Flake, and members of the McCain family.
At a rally in North Carolina yesterday (October 14, 2024,) Vice President Harris reminded people that Trump does not have the backing of many of the people who served him in the first term (including General Mark Milley, former Commander of the Joint Chiefs) and would embark on a destructive path for America, saying:
“They have all warned America. Donald Trump is unfit to serve…General Milley said ‘No one has ever been so dangerous to this country…”
“…We can already see the harm he is up to as a candidate. Most recently, spreading disinformation in the wake of natural disasters. Blocking real solutions that would stop drug cartels from crossing the border when he tried to kill and did that border security deal…Donald Trump cares more about scaring people, creating fear, and running on a problem, instead of what real leaders do; participating and fixing problems.”
In Arizona, many McCain and center-right Republicans (including the late Senators son Jimmy) are flocking to the Harris-Walz Banner and imploring many of their political persuasion to do the same.
They have formed the 120-person Republicans for Harris/Walz Advisory Group.
When Vice President Harris was in Arizona last week, she met with the group at a Scottsdale event, promising to create a President’s Council on Bipartisan Solutions.
A leading founder of the Republicans for Harris/Walz Advisory Group is Mesa Mayor John Giles.
A pragmatic Center-Right Mayor who has praised the Biden/Harris Administration for its infrastructure investments and who spoke with other mainstream Republicans at the Democratic National Convention, Giles just starred in an ad for the Harris/Walz Campaign called “Cities.”
In it, he highlights the need for all Americans, like John McCain, to put the Country First.
Please see the script for the ad below.
“MAYOR GILES: In cities like mine, folks look out for each other. They put their community first.
I’m a lifelong Republican, but I’ve always put country over party and I know Donald Trump’s second term would be all about himself. That’s why like so many other Republicans, I cannot support Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris and I may not agree on everything, but I do know that she will always put country first.
If we’re gonna make progress as a country, we have to have an adult in the White House.
That’s why I’m supporting Kamala Harris.
KAMALA HARRIS: I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.”
