WASHINGTON — The surge of excitement around Kamala Harris has locked in powerful interest groups and unions, cemented titans of Wall Street and Hollywood, and captured "coconut-pilled" progressives and Joe Biden campaign aides alike.
But Harris’ rapid ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket is also animating another important coalition of voters: former Republicans more desperate than ever to turn the page on Donald Trump.
Already, Harris has notched Republican support from former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan.
Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican, endorsed Biden in 2020. After launching a third party in 2022, Whitman said she is now all in for Harris.
“It’s a totally different race, and the idea of a prosecutor against a convicted felon is a very appealing one from an ad point of view,” Whitman said.
Others, too, are finding plenty to embrace about California’s former top cop.
“I loved her line: ‘I’m a prosecutor. I know how to deal with people like Donald Trump,’” said former Rep. Christopher Shays, a Republican critic of Trump from Connecticut. “She didn’t say Donald Trump’s a hateful, despicable man — ugly. She didn’t have to.”

Riiiiiiiight.....I’m sure they are. 👌
Stupid is, as stupid does.
Just the first seven words and you know you're into a BS-fest the likes of which no human has ever experienced.
Charter members of the Rockefeller wing of the GOPe along with the Lincoln Project pedos. Just another article I won’t be reading or opening.
Don’t forget “Fat Liz” Cheney who is now raising money
for Democrat Party Candidates
These people aren’t Republicans - they’re screwballs.
The mass media collects Republican Quislings as trinkets.
They will embrace whatever keeps the $$$$$ flowing in.
Dealing with people is different than dealing with Willie's willy.
A great bargain if they’d just shut their pie-holes from now on.
whitman ran as a Republican and governed as a Democrat in New Jersey; she was a close childhood friend of GW Bush and it shows. She was also head of EPA when 9/11 happened and assured the rescuers that the site was just fine; hundreds died of asbestos and other chemical exposures in the ensuing years. We don’t need people like her in our party.
😂😂😂. The most left wing rhino’s avaliable.
No sale, Dems. She's an idiot. And everyone knows it.
Quit beclowning yourselves. It's embarrassing.
Top cop calling for the defunding of cops, for holding back evidence that would clear a prisoner. Top? Think Not!
Yet, I’m sure we will never see an article related to the Dems that think Kamala is an idiot and will either stay home or vote for someone else...
Anti-Republican Republicans, anti-gun gun owners, cops who want to defund the police - they’re all just typical lying D@mocrats...
you can’t be Republican and buy what Kammy is selling. period.
What I’d like to know is WHO did the actual work when she was a DA and AG. She just comes off as too much of an airhead to rack up all those wins.
Be careful what you say about establishment Republicans or you might not be invited to the Sunday afternoon croquet match at the country club!
