Full List of Republicans Signing Letter for Harris but Not Biden

A number of ex-Republican officials have endorsed Kamala Harris having not endorsed Joe Biden.
In a letter to the public, over 100 ex-Republican members of congress and national security officials from the Reagan, H.W. Bush, W. Bush and Trump administrations argued that while they might “disagree with Kamala Harris” on many issues, Trump had demonstrated “dangerous qualities,” such as having an “unusual affinity” for dictators like President Vladimir Putin of Russia and “contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior.”
“We believe that the President of the United States must be a principled, serious, and steady leader who can advance and defend American security and values, strengthen our alliances, and protect our democracy,” the letter reads. “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.
“We firmly oppose the election of Donald Trump. As President, he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests, and betrayed our values, democracy, and this country’s founding documents.”
The letter also condemned Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021.
“By inciting the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and defending those who committed it, he has violated his oath of office and brought danger to our country,” the letter says, before quoting Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, who has said that “anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”
They went on to say that Harris “has demonstrated a commitment to upholding the ideals that define our nation — freedom, democracy, and rule of law,” adding that Trump is “unfit to serve again as President, or indeed in any office of public trust.”
Newsweek has contacted the Trump and Harris campaigns for comment via email.
Among the 111 signatories were former defense secretaries Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen; Robert B. Zoellick, former World Bank president; ex-CIA directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster; former director of national intelligence John D. Negroponte; and former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld. Two former Trump administration officials, Miles Taylor and Olivia Troye, also signed the letter.
Troye spoke at the Democratic National Convention this year in Chicago. Former GOP Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who signed the letter, also spoke at the DNC.
The letter came after former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, both said over the weekend that they would vote for Harris in November. Former Republican Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez has also endorsed Harris. Mike Pence has said he will not endorse Trump but has not endorsed Harris.
Earlier this month, the GOP group put out another letter signed by more than 200 Republicans who said another four years under Trump would “hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions.”
In 2020, the Republican group National Security Leaders for Biden issued a letter backing Joe Biden. That letter was signed by nearly 300 former national security officials.
However, many people who signed the latest letter were not involved in that earlier endorsement.
