Former Virginia Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman publicly expressed his support for Harris last Sunday, warning that returning former President Trump to the White House would endanger American citizens and cause global chaos.
Previously, the Harris campaign team launched the "Republicans for Harris" initiative, and Riegelman joined in.
He posted on X, 'I'm here. Yes.' The attached image is a press release for the initiative, which includes a list of supporters.
Riegelman pointed out the incident that occurred on January 6, 2021 (referred to as "J6"), when a group of Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol, explaining his reasons for supporting the aforementioned initiative. He firmly supported Trump in both independent campaigns, but broke ties with the former president on January 6th of that year.
I have reviewed the data for J6. Trump and his loyalists are dangerous. Those who push for J6 will also push for the '2025 Plan,' "he said." Trump's second term will endanger American citizens and cause global chaos
Reason should be the bottom line, and criminals should be excluded, "he added.
Since Harris' campaign launched the aforementioned initiative, it has received support from over 25 prominent Republicans, including former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, and other Republican lawmakers and governors.
In addition, Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary during the Trump era, and Olivia Troye, former national security advisor to former Vice President Pence, also supported Harris.
It is reported that these Republicans will talk to their friends and family about the importance of voting for Vice President Harris, with the campaign team calling the organization "campaign within a campaign". The organization will hold launch events on Monday in the battleground states of Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump's' Make America Great Again '(MAGA) extremism is toxic to millions of Republicans. They no longer believe that Trump's party represents their values and will vote against him again in November, "Austin Weatherford, Harris' Republican National Outreach Director, said in a statement.
