A Republican mayor in Arizona who bucked his party to endorse Vice President Harris was invited to attend the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month, he told The Arizona Republic on Monday.
John Giles, mayor of Mesa, didn’t commit to attending but said he “did appreciate the invitation.” He also said he will attend a Harris rally in Phoenix on Friday.
Giles is among a rising number of elected and formerly elected Republicans backing Harris’s campaign for president. In his endorsement last week, he said the Republican Party had “lost track” under former President Trump.

His endorsement is huge. Winning Arizona would give us a much-needed buffer in the rust belt, especially in combination with a Nevada and/or Georgia win.
