Just this week: Barbara Pierce Bush tells PEOPLE she's "hopeful" that voters will back Harris on Nov. 5 to "protect women's rights"
My mother, a lifelong Republican at an event in 2004 with former President G.W. Bush's daughter, Barbara. Both are voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, they are choosing their country and the constitution over their party.

Never in my, nor my mother's lifetime have we seen lifelong Republicans endorsing a Democratic candidate. October 30th, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican Governor for California announced his support of V.P. Kamala Harris on social media with a lengthy post. He stated that he didn't typically give endorsements, as he "doesn't trust most politicians," but he stated that he understands why people want to know his opinions since he is, "not just a celebrity," but also a former Governor. "To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious." The former Governor went on, "and I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That's why this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I'm sharing it with all of you, because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don't recognize our country. And you are right to be furious."
The former Governor is correct, I, and I suspect millions of other Americans, don't recognize our country, nor our party, and we are furious. In fact, a good many Americans are in therapy due to their anxiety, anger, and angst over this years presidential election. Each election Americans hear from both sides, that this will be the most important election in their lifetime, and in the past it has been proven wrong. However, this election, I fear could very well be the last election if Kamala fails to win, or if Trump steals the election. Why do I know this to be true? The writing is on the wall, because not once in my lifetime, or anyone in my family's lifetime, does anyone remember a Republican politician, Republican cabinet member, nor a Republican staff member ever standing up and issuing a statement that they were not supporting their party's candidate. Former Vice President, Dick Cheney, and his daughter, the former Congresswoman Liz Cheney who have never voted for a Democrat in their lives, have come out in support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Liz Cheney has even gone so far as to hit the campaign trail with the V.P. Kamala Harris. At a campaign event in Ripon, Wisconsin, Liz Cheney told the crowd,"I tell you, I have never voted for a Democrat, but this year, I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."
Just this week People magazine featured former President G.W. Bush's daughter, Barbara, in which she stated her support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Barbara Pierce Bush told People Magazine, "It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend." Bush shared in an exclusive statement to People this past Tuesday in regards to the Harris Walz ticket, "I'm hopeful they'll move our country forward and protect women's rights." Bush's mother Laura has not yet shared publicly who she is voting for in Tuesday's election. The former First Lady did say back in 2010 that she supported same-sex marriage, and abortion. When speaking about abortion the former First Lady stated, that abortion should "remain legal, because I think it's important for people, for medical reasons."
In addition to Liz Cheney, and Barbara Bush, Susan Ford Bales, the daughter of former President Gerald Ford, said, "America cannot regress back to a divisive paradigm of loathing toward one another and disdain for our Constitution. We witnessed on January 6 the horrors of what that looks like, and we can never allow a repeat of that tragedy." Jimmy McCain, the son of the late Senator John McCain who was the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also has announced that he has registered as a Democrat and he plans on voting for Harris. McCain released in a statement, "I'm a center man who cares about his country more than anything."
In a nutshell, Trump appears to have lost support nationwide. The list of prominent Republicans endorsing Harris, the Democratic Presidential nominee is unprecedented, and it's growing.It's growing due to Donald Trump proving himself to be more and more unhinged. The former president has been guilty of saying much about nothing at his rallies. He has said little to nothing about the issues, and has seemed not all there with his dancing, gyrating, talk about executing various generals , Arnold Palmer's penis size, dying by electrocution, or shark attack, windmills, Hanbel Lector, and more psycho babble. Trump's latest attacks on Liz Cheney have now got the former President in yet another possible misdemeanor as his statements may well have been interpreted by Arizona law to be a death threat."I don't blame Dick Cheney for sticking with his daughter, but his daughter is a very dumb individual, very dumb. She is a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, ok? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face." Suffice it to say that Trump is doing and saying everything and anything at his rallies, but address the issues and detail his plans. Oh, I'm sorry the former President doesn't have any plans, he has concepts of plans. Hence, why Republicans like my own mother, my family, friends , children of former presidents, retired Generals, and over 300 prominent Republicans are placing the country, and our constitution over the party with their vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
