Jeff Flake, Former Republican Senator, Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris for 2024 Election

Jeff Flake, Former Republican Senator

Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona announced on Sunday that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming presidential election. Flake, who recently stepped down as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, emphasized his support for Harris in a statement, highlighting her understanding that political opponents are not enemies but fellow citizens. He expressed his desire to back a candidate who differentiates between real enemies abroad and political adversaries at home.

Flake, who served in Congress for nearly two decades, noted that he has previously worked with both Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He encouraged Republicans who share his perspective to prioritize the country over party loyalty, especially in challenging times. This endorsement comes as Harris trails former President Trump in Arizona, a pivotal swing state. Flake joins a growing list of Republicans, including Mesa Mayor John Giles and former Kansas Senator Nancy Kassebaum, who have publicly supported Harris, distancing themselves from the party’s nomination of Trump.
