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.”

    This is great or whatever but all that matters is that his followers will vote for him regardless of how unfit he seems or is. They just don’t care at this point and you’re not going to change their minds. Everyone else has to vote and hopefully Kamala will win and the Republican controlled electors won’t vote Trump even if their state vote Kamala.

      You’re right, of course, which is dismal, but I guess it will at least be on the record that we knew? That we saw it coming?
