More than 100 former Republican congress members and national security officials from Republican administrations have joined Kamala Harris' list of endorsements.
The 111 Republicans signed a letter to the public which stated that while they might "disagree with Kamala Harris," Donald Trump had shown "dangerous qualities," causing them to deem him "unfit to serve again as president."
The "dangerous qualities" they listed included an "unusual affinity" for dictators such as Russia's Vladimir Putin, and "contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior."
The letter stated, "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 criticized Trump's incitement of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection where a mob attacked the Capitol, saying Trump "has violated his oath of office and brought danger to our country."
Among the endorsements included officials who served under former presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. The signatories included officials who had spoken out against Trump previously, such as two former defense secretaries, Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen, and the former C.I.A. directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster.
Several Republicans who did not support Biden publicly in 2020 signed the letter as well, such as former House members Charles W. Boustany Jr. of Louisiana, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Dan Miller of Florida and Bill Paxon of New York.
