Harris’s campaign has made a concerted effort to target disillusioned Republican voters this election, and her strategy appears to be the same heading into the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week.
Several Republicans are scheduled to speak on the main stage at the DNC this week, ranging from high-profile Trump administration officials to lesser-known former Trump voters.
“We will put patriotic Republicans at the center of our convention programming, allowing them to explain in their own words why they put country first and support Vice President Harris,” Austin Weatherford, the Harris campaign’s Republican engagement director, said in a statement ahead of the convention.
Here are the Republican speakers who have already spoken at the convention or have confirmed they will speak on Thursday. (The DNC has not released its speaker schedule for the rest of the week.)
