Harris Sways Republicans, Trump's Candidacy Stares Down Glaring New Problem
Kamala Harris pulls in newfound support from prominent conservatives and plans a major rally in the final stretch, as Donald's campaign circles the drain
Kamala Harris continues to run a stellar campaign, and her path to 270 looks clearer than ever — especially with the latest surge of Republicans now backing her candidacy.
First, Former GOP Congressman from Michigan endorses Harris
In a nice turn of events, Michigan’s longtime Republican Congressman, Fred Upton, broke ties with his party and is now backing Harris — the first time he’s ever voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.
Here’s what Upton told the Detroit Times, in which he slammed Trump as ‘unhinged’: “He's still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He's just totally unhinged. We don't need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that's why I'm where I am.”
On Harris and Walz, he said: “They want to get things done, and the only way to get that to happen is to work on a bipartisan basis. I'm convinced that Harris has more ability to do that than Trump.”
That’s what choosing country over party looks like.
It’s worth noting
Fred Upton served in Congress for 36 years, which means he’s well-liked among GOP voters in Western Michigan.
In short: His endorsement could sway conservatives in Michigan to Team Harris.
Then, Republican Mayor of Waukesha, Wisconsin, endorses Harris over Trump
The mayor of the largest Republican county in Wisconsin, Shawn Reilly, just announced his support for Harris — the first time he’s publicly backed a Democrat for president.
Here’s what the red-city mayor told Fox6: “It's difficult. The easy thing to do is just not say anything and cast my vote the way I want, but I think we're at a crossroads now…I feel in my heart that this is something that I need to come out and say: I am going to be voting for Vice President Harris to become our next president…”
Reilly also revealed he’s ‘terrified’ of a Trump presidency, citing his felony convictions: “It’s a vote against Trump. I am terrified of Donald Trump becoming our next president for all the reasons I have indicated: he's already been impeached twice. He's been convicted of felonies and this is not what the United States needs."
Correct; Madam VP is the law and order candidate.
Crucial endorsement for Harris in battleground Wisconsin
This is a Republican stronghold that Trump won by 5.5 points back in 2020, a decrease from the 11 points he secured in 2016.
He’s on a downward trajectory, and with a boost from Waukesha’s mayor — Harris could flip this Wisconsin county in her favor.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé will join Harris at her Houston Rally tomorrow night
Buckle up, Texas. According to a Washington Post reporter, Beyoncé, the world-famous singer and Houston native, is expected to join Harris at her rally tomorrow in Houston.
It’ll be the first time they appear together on stage to turn out the vote.
Big play from Harris
A rally of this magnitude could make serious waves in a state where Harris is sneakily climbing in the polls — and if anything, draw more attention to Texas’ abortion bans that have been put in place thanks to Trump’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Speaking of Donald Trump, his candidacy is taking a hit
If having a former Republican congressman from Michigan, a red-city mayor from Wisconsin, and Beyoncé rallying against Trump wasn’t bad enough, the fallout from last night’s Town Hall suggests his campaign may be on the brink of collapse:
