More than 200 former aides to the three GOP presidential nominees who preceded former President Trump in 2016, President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), endorsed Vice President Harris on Monday.
The majority of the group also endorsed President Biden in 2020. The alums wrote a letter announcing the endorsement, USA Today first reported.
The letter said it was a reunion of sorts, though it added that additional Bush alumni in particular were added to the group this cycle that are opposing Trump and backing Harris.
The Harris campaign touted the endorsements on Monday, weeks after it launched the coalition Republicans for Harris.
The campaign included a handful of GOP speakers, including former aides to President Trump and ex-Rep. Adam Kinzinger (D-Ill.), at the convention last week.

Was the Republicans for Clinton contingency this vocal in 2016? I wasn’t keeping up with politics as much then, but it seems like Harris has more Republican endorsements than Biden did in 2020.
