Kamala Harris welcomes defected GOP members, who finally woke up to the reality of the bigoted cesspit they've willingly inhabited. Good riddance to bad rubbish, as my grandma used to say. These turncoats have seen the light, because #RepublicanSóùlsfuelsHate

'Republicans for Harris' Campaign Launch Targets Anti-Trump GOP Voters
Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign launched the "Republicans for Harris" initiative on Sunday, seeking to mobilize Republicans who are skeptical of former President Donald Trump's toxic extremism and potentially open to backing Harris.
"Trump’s extremism is toxic to the millions of Republicans who no longer believe the party of Donald Trump represents their values." - Austin Weatherford, Harris' national director of Republican outreach.
"Again, you’ve shown tremendous courage...Your voice can make an enormous difference." - Olivia Troye, encouraging former VP Mike Pence to join.
The campaign within a campaign aims to create a "permission structure," encouraging GOP voters to support Harris by highlighting other Republicans doing the same. Well-known Republicans will rally alongside Harris, with events in AZ, NC, and PA, and 25+ politicians already signed on, including former TX Rep. Alan Steelman.
