Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is launching 'Republicans for Harris,' targeting GOP voters dissatisfied with Donald Trump. The initiative will leverage notable Republicans to mobilize their networks, focusing on primary voters who supported former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. Events are planned in Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

The campaign aims to create an environment where Republican voters feel comfortable supporting Harris. This effort will rely on Republican-to-Republican interactions, underlining that hearing from fellow Republicans is crucial to convincing them to vote for Harris.

Austin Weatherford, national director of Republican outreach for Harris, emphasized the campaign's commitment to earn GOP votes by highlighting Trump's perceived extremism and promoting Harris as a defender of democracy. Key endorsements include former Governors and Trump critics, with public figures like Adam Kinzinger and Stephanie Grisham expressing their support.
