TRENTON, NJ—Most people would be shocked if a former Republican governor endorsed a Democrat for President.
However, this is New Jersey and that former governor is Christine Todd Whitman.
Nobody was shocked when she took to CNN to announce her support for Kamala Harris over former President Donald J. Trump.
Yes, Christine Todd Whitman, former Republican Governor of New Jersey, has publicly endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race. The New Jersey Globe reported this endorsement, which Whitman further discussed in an interview on CNN on Monday, August 5.
The only thing more shocking in New Jersey would be if former governor Chris Christie actually admitted he is supporting Kamala Harris instead of hiding behind a fabricated ‘tough guy, tough love Republican’.
He’s neither.
Back to his predecessor.
Christine Todd Whitman, known for her role as a moderate Republican (RINO), expressed her discontent with the direction of the Republican Party under former President Donald Trump, citing his prioritization of personal and wealthy interests over the American populace.
Her endorsement of Harris marks a notable shift, emphasizing her belief in putting country over party.
Whitman is part of a growing faction of establishment Republicans fearful of Trump’s return to office.
