Story

In a surprising move, former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan is urging Republicans to consider voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 election. Speaking to CNN, Duncan emphasized that supporting Harris does not equate to abandoning Republican values, stating, “just because you vote for Kamala Harris... doesn’t mean you’re a Democrat.” He framed the decision as a patriotic duty, encouraging party members to prioritize the future of the country over strict party allegiance. Duncan, who played a significant role during former President Donald Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election results, expressed concern over the misinformation surrounding the electoral process. He acknowledged his support for Trump but noted that the former president's actions have led him to reconsider his loyalty. “He did not win the state of Georgia,” Duncan remarked, highlighting the need for Republicans to reassess their positions in light of recent political developments. As part of her campaign strategy, Harris has launched the “Republicans for Harris” initiative, aiming to attract conservative voters disillusioned with Trump. This effort includes online rallies where speakers criticized Trump while also acknowledging their reservations about Harris’s policies. The initiative seeks to appeal to a diverse voter base, including lifelong Republicans and moderates who are dissatisfied with the current political landscape. Ambassador Nikki Haley, a prominent Republican figure, has publicly declared her support for Trump, indicating a divide within the party as the election approaches. Duncan’s call for bipartisan support reflects a growing sentiment among some Republicans who are eager for change in leadership.
