230 High-Ranking Republicans Endorse Harris

September 25, 2024

“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.

741 National Security Leaders Endorse Harris

www.nsla.org

September 22, 2024

“To the American People,

We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our

lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers,

ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders. We are Republicans, Democrats,

and Independents. We are loyal to the ideals of our nation—like freedom, democracy, and

the rule of law—not to any one individual or party.

We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles. First, we

believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief.

Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable. Each generation has a responsibility

to defend it. That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next

President of the United States.

This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a

choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s

democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.

We do not make such an assessment lightly. We are trained to make sober, rational

decisions. That is how we know Vice President Harris would make an excellent Commanderin-

Chief, while Mr. Trump has proven he is not up to the job. As leaders, we know effective

leadership requires in-depth knowledge, careful deliberation, understanding of your

adversaries, and empathy for those you lead. It requires listening to those with expertise and

not firing them when they disagree with you.

Vice President Harris has proven she is an effective leader able to advance American

national security interests. Her relentless diplomacy with allies around the globe preserved a

united front in support of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. She grasps the reality

of American military deterrence, promising to preserve the American military’s status as the

most “lethal” force in the world.

The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic,

he is impulsive and ill-informed. He has heaped praise on adversarial dictators like China’s Xi

Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as well as the terrorist

leaders of Hezbollah. Conversely, he has publicly and privately excoriated the leaders of our

most steadfast allies, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Canada, and Germany.

He abandoned our Kurdish allies while ceding influence in the Middle East to Russia, Iran,

and China.

Further, Mr. Trump denigrates our great country and does not believe in the American ideal

that our leaders should reflect the will of the people. While Vice President Harris follows the

democratic norms we expect of any political leader—including promising to abide by the

outcome of the pending election and respecting the rule of law—Mr. Trump is the first

president in American history to actively undermine the peaceful transfer of power, the

bedrock of American democracy.

Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system; he has said so himself. He has called for the

“termination” of parts of the Constitution. He said he wants to be a “dictator,” and his

clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring. He has undermined

faith in our elections by repeating lies, without evidence, of “millions” of fraudulent votes.

He has shown no remorse for trying to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th, promises

to pardon the convicted perpetrators, and has made clear he will not respect the results of

the 2024 election should he lose again.

That alone proves Mr. Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.

We believe, as President Ronald Reagan said, that “America is a shining city on a hill.” Yet in

this election, one of President Reagan’s more ominous warnings is equally relevant.

“Freedom,” he said, “is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Our endorsement of Vice President Harris is an endorsement of freedom and an act of

patriotism. It is an endorsement of democratic ideals, of competence, and of relentless

optimism in America’s future. We hope you will join us in voting for her.
