Fred Upton® Endorses Harris

Unread post by TC Talks »

Hopefully we will hear from more Michigan Republicans soon. Meijer and Amash would be helpful.
Republican former U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, a respected legislator who represented Michigan for 36 years and became chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, has endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president, her campaign said Thursday morning.

In a statement released by the Harris campaign, Upton said he was "proud" to add his name to a growing list of Republicans who have said they're voting for Harris over Republican former President Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 general election.

"I have already cast my ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris to be our next president of the United States," Upton said in the statement.

“I don’t believe I’ve missed a vote in Michigan in the 52 years I’ve been eligible to vote. And I’ve not been afraid to split my ballot from time to time but have never voted for a Democrat for president, until now," said Upton, who was one of 10 Republicans who split with his party to vote to impeach Trump for his role in instigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020 election for Democratic President Joe Biden.

Hopefully level headed Republicans will heed Kelly's warnings. He all bit said Trump is spying for Russia.

A lot of Republicans won't vote until election day or early in person. Better late than never.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

NEVER EVER COMPLY WITH FASCISM!!!

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

As long as you’re ok with either version of hell.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

The Resistance begins now.
