The group has secured key endorsements from some high ranking republicans with a notable array of former Trump White House officials, including Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. The group also includes former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, as well as former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman. Additionally, it boasts support from former U.S. House members such as Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh. Former GOP State Chair and State Senator Chris Vance is also among the endorsers, along with many others.

This story was originally published by The 19th . Vice President Kamala Harris has long been the target of racist and misogynistic attacks online as a woman in politics who is also Black and South Asian.
