Washington (CNN)More than two dozen former Republican lawmakers announced Monday they are endorsing Joe Biden for president.

Former Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and former Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania are among those throwing their support behind the Democratic presidential nominee through "Republicans for Biden," and the endorsements come on the morning of the first day of the Republican National Convention.

Biden has repeatedly emphasized Republican support as he looks to build a broad coalition in his campaign against President Donald Trump.

There is a reason why they are “former” Republican lawmakers.

Totally fake! I have never seen so much makeup on a guy! And it was not a TV event. (You need makeup to look natural on TV, Nixon learned the hard way.)

It is so good to have these rhinos exposed. They were liars and cheats from the start...once out of office their importance is zero. They are exposed to all Americans. Even the religious group has been exposed. They stand for evil and not The Way The Truth and the Life.

Even in the hometown named after his family, Sen. Jeff Flake's name is mud

SNOWFLAKE — U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake was born and raised here, in the city co-founded by his great-great-grandfather. But he appears to have lost favorite son status.

In the center of Snowflake, there is a statue commemorating the meeting between William Flake and Erastus Snow that gave the city its start and its name.

But Sen. Flake should not expect to be memorialized in bronze here anytime soon.

An informal survey of people in Snowflake showed Flake would struggle to win votes even in his hometown.

"I'm just really disappointed," said Laura Whited, 56, who has lived in Snowflake for 13 years. "I think he’s lost touch with his constituents and he’s gone after his own agenda."

Flake was born in this White Mountain city, whose history, along with other communities in the area, is entwined with that of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Flake was one of 11 children raised on a cattle ranch in Snowflake. There is still a part of northern Snowflake called Flakeville, a term that comes from the Flake brood making their home in the neighborhood.

Flake once told the White Mountain Independent he had 69 cousins on his father's side alone. It made for a lot of Flakes in the city, whose population hovered below 4,000 when Flake grew up there.

Flake's father served as mayor of Snowflake. His uncle was a state lawmaker who would rise to be Speaker of the House in the Arizona Legislature.

After graduating from Snowflake High School, Flake went to college at Brigham Young University. He moved to Mesa, where he ran for a U.S. House seat.

Another set of Flake relatives, who declined to give their names, even expressed spiritual disappointment in their cousin.

They must be proud that Richard Spencer endorsed this morning Biden and is on board with them in supporting him.

yet one more amazing accomplishment by our beloved Donald Trump, namely to totally expose the GOP liars and scum always pretending to be “conservatives” to get elected and then stabbing those who voted from them in the back ... over and over and over again ...

No surprise, really. If you look at a lot of these so-called republicans, they have always had a bent towards the center-left. They are not republicans in my opinion. The problem within the Republican Party for over a couple decades has been the propensity to vote with the left on the most important issues, especially concerning family, conscious issues and abortion. That’s why, even when we have a solid majority, they see to it that the Christian values of our founding fathers are NEVER ever upheld, and even in the courts...ie John Roberts...just can’t bring himself to uphold the US Constitution because it would step on the toes of the left.

They are not interesting.

Got to wonder how Biden's radical policies fit with what they ran on during their careers are "Republican" politicians. Also got to wonder how they reconcile Joe's cognitive decline with an endorsement that essentially says he's capable of performing the duties of the office for at least 4 years in their judgment.

They really do hate Trump that much... like Romney and perhaps others... that they'll put their personal feelings about the man over his policy accomplishments. It's a good thing Trump wasn't elected Pope. Considering the headwinds throughout his first term, he exceeded most expectations.

This is laughable. Further evidence that the legacy republicans and the democrats and their media are out of touch and clueless.

They thing that their "protest" vote against Trump is actually going to influence Trump voters against him. The reason why people voted for Trump is because he is not the typical republican. He actually works to do what he promised during the election.

People are sick and tired of the legacy do-nothing republicans. They are sick and tired of the "republicans" pandering and protection of the democrat agenda. These "republicans" think that they are somehow respected by the voters. Nope. They were voted in because they were the lesser of two evles. Not because there is any respect and trust with them.

So I think them coming out against Trump is actually a HUGE ENDORSEMENT OF DONALD TRUMP. Shhh... don't tell them this. Let them continue to celebrate and think they have done something big.

Let’s hope not a single currently enrolled Democrat endorses Trump.

Former. Former.

This is good. It means at least some of them are disappearing from the public arena. Granted, a good number of them were likely ousted by Leftists, but either way, it is good they are...Former.

If you’re unhappy with the candidate, you should just shut up and go fishing. Unless of course, you hate the police, you like abortion, you don’t care about blacks people getting jobs, you don’t care about street crime, you oppose school choice,
