former gop congresswoman liz cheney, another critic who also served on that same committee, is also geoff duncan, the former republican lieutenant governor of georgia, who speaks out quite frequently about the former president. and one thing in common with those three will none are currently in office. so it's exceptionally rare. are sitting republicans who do speak out and even more rare sitting republicans who speak out and men go on to endorse a democrat. but tonight we have that for you here. the republican mayor of mesa, arizona, john giles, with a piece out today endorsing kamala harris and he's here with me now, mayor giles. welcome you're really perhaps putting yourself out there with this endorsement. i do wonder what has compelled you to do so you know, it was with a lot of thought you know, certainly not anxious. i am a republican and i enjoy endorsing republicans. so this was a very considered the step to take and i also as a mayor, i love to not get involved in partisan politics at all when i can avoid it, mayors like to focus on solving problems and on on city issues and on been in

republicans in georgia look at geoff duncan who is saying we want official in that state who is repeated trump's record and made it clear he is not fit for office the vice president will be joined with lawmakers and democratic officials, but she's also bringing star power. >> megan thee stallion will also be at the rally. and again, what is expected to be a big moment for her? in georgia, a state that democrats are hoping to keep in play this election absolutely great to see you, priscilla, and great reporting. >> as always, sara. >> all right. just out a brand-new attack ad from donald trump targeting of course, kamala harris. >> this time on the border joe biden made kamala harris border czar to fix immigration first, she ignored it. >> do you have any plans to visit the border at some point she just lied. the border is secure of course, she is not. >> the borders are however, the attack lines getting sharper from donald trump's side of things. but now the j.d. vance cat lady controversy is growing partly because our kfile report this morning finds the things republican vice presidenti

appearance coincides with an endorsement from the state's former lieutenant governor, republican geoff duncancan argued yesterday that harris is the only viable means of defeating donald trump in november. so today's rally in georgia is the harris campaign's first step in its new plan to ramp up efforts in the key battleground states to decide this election. the campaign reports more than 2 a 50 coordinated field offices in major swing states. it has 600 staff members on the ground in the so-called blue wall states. states that have largely voted democrat in the last several presidential elections with an additional 150 staff planned to join next month. harris' team said its volunteer numbers are growing as well by the start of this week, the campaign had gained 36 volunteers. for her opponent, donald trump sat down for an interview with fox news last night where he continued his attacks against harris' intellect and once again hedged on whether or not he would debate her. >> she is incompetent, not very smart. she is very radical. she got rid of the laugh. i haven't seen that crazy laugh. sh

she's been endorsed by republicans like former georgia lieutenant governor geoff duncan, and as we reported's role in blocking the immigration reforms harris has championed. as well as the ways the biden/harris administration has delivered for his state. here he is, talking to our friends at "morning joe." >> this is not a year that we can follow tradition or follow misplaced loyalty and vote for a republican at the top of the ticket. donald trump has demonstrated that he lacks the character, lacks the commitment to the rule of law, and to the united states constitution to qualify as an elected official, let alone as president of the united states. >> vice president kamala harris has also earned the endorsements from one of the most critical voting blocks for democrats, america's unions, including groups like the afl-cio, and american federation of teachers. in just a few hours ago, harris winning the support of one of the largest and most influential unions in the country, with nearly 1 million active and retired members, the united automobile workers. uaw president shawn fain saying in a
