DAILY TALKING POINTS

Harris for President Launches Republicans for Harris

• Vice President Harris is a champion for democracy, freedom, and opportunity, and believes in working across the aisle to get things done. That’s why, yesterday, Republicans – including former elected officials and members of Donald Trump’s own administration – endorsed VP Harris to defeat Trump.

• These Republican leaders are helping to launch Republicans for Harris, a grassroots organizing program to build on the campaign’s ongoing GOP outreach, including: 

  • A significant investment in reaching battleground Haley voters;

  • A dedicated staff focused on Republican outreach;

  • Activating and mobilizing local and trusted Republican voices to organize their networks; and

  • Targeted paid media investments.

• As the Republicans said in their endorsement, they might not agree with the vice president on everything, but Trump is a threat to our democracy. He tried to overturn one election, and if he becomes president again, he plans to rule as a dictator on “day one” to enact his extreme Project 2025 agenda.

• While Trump attacks anyone who doesn’t support him, Vice President Harris knows the power of showing up, making your case, and earning the support of voters.

• Republicans for Harris will play a key role in this campaign’s work to build a broad, diverse coalition of voters to win in November.

Millions of Americans are fed up with his grievance-filled campaign focused only on himself. Tonight we heard a particularly unhinged, angry version of the same Donald Trump that Georgia rejected in 2020.”@maxasteele: The ratio of Harris campaign to Trump campaign field offices in Pennsylvania is 12:1.
