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.”
“Republicans have had five weeks of really good luck. That ended on Sunday,” said Rick Wilson, a longtime Republican strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.

FAILED prosecutor
Abject, provably lifetime MORONS all these named “republicans”. Everything about Harris— everything, could not in any shape or form be supported by even the weakest Republican of any stripe.
It is the headline the propagandists want out there
Whitman was never a real Republican anyway. The commies had not yet taken over New Jersey so she registered R even though she had a D agenda.
We tend to forget there’s still a war going on inside the Republican party.
Some say that is what Project 2025 is about, establishment R’s trying to crawl back power. It was developed completely outside of PDJT’s influence.
We met this POS years ago (maybe around 2011 or so?) at some Republican event in CT. He's basically a sickening democRAT.
Hubby and I told him of our recent Tea Party activities that we participated in during the 2008-2011 or so time period. Shays recoiled and looked startled, as if we each had three heads or something. We were definitely NOT Shays' kind of Republicans.

She will destroy the US
These people openly embrace marxism. Unbelievable.
Any person who think this idiot can be president or anyone even pretending she can do the job is just as stupid as she is or lying.
“Top Cop”?...More like Top Mop.
They overturned all the rocks for this article.
Posing as Republicans doesn’t make you one
We’re Never Taking You Back.
Frauds
It would be a good start.
Fixed it.
Yeah, but if they keep telling us there’s excitement we will eventually believe it. That’s what they were taught in propaganda class.
