“As a proud conservative, I never thought I’d be endorsing a Democrat for President. But, I know [VP] Harris will defend our democracy […] [the GOP nominee] poses a direct threat to fundamental American values. […] There’s too much at stake to sit on the sidelines, which is why I wholeheartedly endorse #KamalaHarris for president. Now is the time for us all to unite to save our democracy and defeat [the GOP nominee] one last time.” – #AdamKinzinger
