More than 100 Republican former national security and foreign policy officials on Wednesday endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a joint letter, calling Donald Trump “unfit to serve” another term in the White House.
Former officials from the presidential administrations of Republicans Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, George W Bush and Donald Trump, as well as Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama voiced their support for Harris, the Democratic nominee for president in this November’s election. They were joined by some former GOP members of Congress.
The letter said: “We believe that the president of the United States must be a principled, serious, and steady leader.”
It went on: “We expect to disagree with Kamala Harris on many domestic and foreign policy issues, but we believe that she possesses the essential qualities to serve as president and Donald Trump does not. We therefore support her election to be president.”
Although I agree with you to some level, I don’t think it’s totally fair to say they don’t have skin in the game. These people could have easily stayed silent for that potential job offer, an extra connection, or some potential to make more money.
Unless, they have somehow more to gain from endorsing Harris. But idk. Looks sincere to me.
