The Forward Party’s Christine Todd Whitman and former Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee William Weld are among a list of Republicans openly supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris later this year.
Earlier this month, the Harris campaign announced “Republicans for Harris,” a list of over two dozen Republican Party officials helping with outreach efforts to GOP voters who remain critical of Republican nominee Donald Trump. Included on that list were Christine Todd Whitman, a former New Jersey governor who later helped create the Forward Party, and William Weld, a former Massachusetts governor who ran as Gary Johnson’s vice presidential nominee in 2016.
Weld has since returned to the Republican Party, rejoining in 2019 before mounting an unsuccessful primary campaign against then-President Donald Trump in 2020. He later supported the Biden-Harris ticket. Whitman, however, is still assumed to be involved in the Forward Party even though she is included on the list. Whitman spoke about her role in creating the party and its electoral goals as recently as last month in an interview that is also featured on the Forward Party’s website.
The Forward Party, which runs candidates under its label in some states, is open about its willingness to support candidates from other parties who are sympathetic to its mission. The party also allows elected officials from other parties to hold joint membership, identifying them as “Forward Republicans” or “Forward Democrats.” Additionally, the party has supported local Libertarian Party candidates in Pennsylvania and merged with the Independence Party in South Carolina.
Andrew Yang, one of Whitman’s fellow founding co-chairs, has already endorsed Harris, citing his fear of a potential second Trump administration. The Forward Party’s third founding co-chair, Michael Willner, has not publicly shared how he plans to vote in the upcoming election. The Forward Party announced last April that it would not field a 2024 presidential candidate.

Them Republicans sure like them some Kamala. She’s gonna make the country safe and prosperous. Another George Washington I tell ya.
Libertarians get their jollys by being bomb throwers, spoilers, and raising a ruckus. They never produce anything except double talk and "theories".
Libertarians for Kamala? That's like Lambs for Wolves.
More traitors revealing themselves
They’re liberal Republicans. No surprise.
It’s funny how RINOs and other Quizlings(sp) are coming out of their carefully built closets and hidy-holes.
Forward Party 😏
TDS makes them EXPOSE THEIR TRUE SELVES!
I wish Trump would start THE COMMON SENSE PARTY.
They are illiberals, same as the Demonrats.
RINOs the both of them. These are exactly the kinds of people I am glad to see driven from the Republican party.
Republicans for Harris don’t exist however misguided idiots do.
Nobody with any sense believes they are Republicans
Nobody believes the enemedia (except libtards)
Anyone who met Christine Todd Whitney.
Right! Christine Todd Whitman and Bill Weld!? Let’s hope more of these rats expose themselves and jump ship.
There’s nothing “forward” about supporting a long-time political whore for President.
