As the Democratic Convention kicks off in Chicago, Republicans are among those expected to speak in support of Vice President Harris for president.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris greets members of the Aliquippa High School football team during a campaign stop at their school, Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024, in Aliquippa, Pa.
This year’s gathering of Democrats in Chicago will include at least a few current and former Republicans. The campaign for Vice President Harris has been actively courting current and former Republican voters for months, trying to persuade them to support the Democratic ticket even if they don’t agree with all of the party’s policy positions. In June, several weeks before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, the campaign hired former Illinois Republican Rep.
“I made a grave mistake. But it’s never too late to change your mind,” Logis says, before endorsing Harris. Logis represents the kind of major pivot on Trump that Democrats are hoping to see more Republicans and conservative-leaning Independents make by November. Several years ago, in videos posted on YouTube - most of which had no more than a couple dozen views - Logis was calling out Republicans he saw as disloyal to the party for criticizing Trump.
