Democratic group member Jeff Flake, on Sunday, publicly endorsed Democrat member Kamala Harris in the future 2024 US National elections. The original GOP senator announced on X that he would support Tim Walz and Kamala Harris for vice president.
According to NBC News, Flake has recently endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 while also serving as the US embassy to Turkey under Biden’s leadership before resigning earlier this month.
In his speech, Flake expressed his belief in America’s possible, saying,” I believe that America is a great nation. Our best times are likely to come, in my opinion. I want to back a presidential candidate who shares my convictions.
Flake claimed that despite acknowledging different viewpoints on different issues, he still supports a social process that fosters discussion and persuasion rather than division. ” I want to help a candidate who recognizes that our political adversaries are our own citizens, not the enemy,” he said.
Flake, who has spent the last three years as a US Ambassador worldwide, emphasized the need for a prospect who comprehends the difference between enemies and friends, claiming that true enemies can be found elsewhere.
” I support a prospect who respects the will of the voters and who never attempts to use the Presidency’s power to reject an election after it has been decided by the voters,” Flake said.
He also emphasized his wish for unity and said,” Lastly, I want to support a Presidential candidate who seeks to unite our state rather than one that divides us, one who stands up for the principles of a new era of authority, based not on problems of the past, but with hope for the future.”
” I know them. I know first-hand of their good figure and love of country”, said Flake. ” I’ve served with Kamala in the US Senate and with Tim in the House of Representatives”, he added.
Flake encouraged other Republicans to promote similar views, saying,” After all, in instances like these, there is nothing more liberal than putting state over group”.
Flake claimed in an interview with the Hill that many conservative Republicans” just ca n’t support a candidate like” former president Trump.
In the future November 5 national elections, Democratic candidate and vice president Kamala Harris will square off against Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump.
