She is also endorsed by several former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-vice-president-mike-pence-joins-the-heritage-foundation\/\" title=\"Former Vice President Mike Pence Joins The Heritage Foundation\">vice presidents<\/a>, including Republican Dick Cheney as well as Democrat Al Gore.

Some former Republican members of Congress have also endorsed Harris, including former Reps.

She endorsed Harris immediately following the presidential debate and more than 300,000 people registered to vote from the link Swift posted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris is endorsed by dozens of other musical artists, including Billie Eilish and her brother and producer Finneas O&rsquo;Connell, Cher, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, and Usher. She is also endorsed by dozens of Hollywood celebrities, including Matt Damon, Aubrey Plaza, and George Clooney.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is also endorsed by NBA superstar Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors and Team USA men&rsquo;s basketball coach Steve Kerr, who spoke at the DNC, and NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul Jabbar. She is also endorsed by tennis star Coco Gauff.<\/p>\n<p>NBA superstar LeBron James, who sometimes dabbles in politics, has not yet made an endorsement, but he has endorsed Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Biden-Harris ticket in previous elections.

Former GOP Govs. Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie, who also ran in this year&rsquo;s primaries,&nbsp;have not endorsed the former president and have been vocal critics of him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump has the support of many current and former governors, including Govs. Brian Kemp (R-GA), Greg Abbott (R-TX), Jim Pillen (R-NE), and Chris Sununu (R-NH) and former Govs. Doug Ducey, Scott Walker, and Bob McDonnell.<\/p>\n<p>Of the living former Republican presidential candidates and vice presidential candidates, just Sarah Palin has explicitly said she is voting for him. McCain, who ran alongside Palin, died in 2018, but Trump frequently criticized the Arizona senator.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both gathering endorsements and seeking support from influential figures during this election season. Most elected officials from their respective parties have backed them, although there are some exceptions on both sides. Each candidate has a distinct group of supporters from within and outside the political sphere. Here\u2019s a summary of their endorsements:<\/p>\n<p>**Harris&#8217;s Endorsements**<\/p>\n<p>*Politicians*: Harris enjoys the backing of most Democratic Party elected officials. After withdrawing from the presidential race in July, President Joe Biden quickly endorsed her, leading to swift party support for her candidacy. Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter have also thrown their weight behind her. She is supported by several former vice presidents, including Republican Dick Cheney and Democrat Al Gore; however, Dan Quayle and Mike Pence have not made endorsements. All 23 current Democratic governors support her.<\/p>\n<p>Three Democrats facing reelection\u2014Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME), Mary Peltola (D-AK), and Josh Harder (D-CA)\u2014have yet to endorse Harris, as have three Democrats challenging Republicans in House races: Lanon Baccam against Rep. Zach Nunn in Iowa\u2019s 3rd District; Adam Frisch for an open seat in Colorado\u2019s 3rd District; and Janelle Stelson against Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) in Pennsylvania\u2019s 10th District.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has received endorsements from hundreds of staffers associated with prominent Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, as well as former Arizona Senator John McCain&#8217;s son Jimmy McCain among others. Some ex-Republican Congress members like Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney also back her candidacy while over 100 former Republican officials signed a letter endorsing Harris due to concerns about Trump&#8217;s fitness for office.<\/p>\n<p>*Organizations &amp; Business Leaders*: Numerous labor unions endorse Harris including the United Auto Workers and Service Employees International Union among others; however, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters refrained from endorsing any presidential candidate after polling indicated many members favored Trump over Harris\u2014a first since 1996 without supporting the Democratic ticket\u2014though some local chapters still back her.<\/p>\n<p>More than 90 business leaders recently expressed their support through a letter that included notable names like Mark Cuban and Magic Johnson along with executives from major companies such as American Express.<\/p>\n<p>*Celebrities &amp; Athletes*: Among celebrity endorsements is Taylor Swift&#8217;s crucial backing which led to over 300k voter registrations following her endorsement post-debate; other musical artists supporting include Billie Eilish alongside numerous Hollywood stars like Matt Damon.<\/p>\n<p>In sports circles she is backed by NBA stars Steph Curry along with coach Steve Kerr while tennis player Coco Gauff also supports her candidacy though LeBron James remains unendorsed despite past political engagements against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>**Trump&#8217;s Endorsements**<\/p>\n<p>*Politicians*: Most elected Republicans endorse Trump but some high-profile figures remain neutral or critical towards him including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) who supports him alongside Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell while several primary opponents now back him too such as Nikki Haley among others though critics like Asa Hutchinson haven\u2019t endorsed him either.<\/p>\n<p>Trump counts on many current\/former governors\u2019 support including Brian Kemp (R-GA) but only Sarah Palin explicitly stated she will vote for him out of living ex-presidential candidates while Mitt Romney remains critical without endorsement along with Paul Ryan who shares similar sentiments regarding Trump&#8217;s leadership style.<\/p>\n<p>Pence distanced himself after disagreements surrounding election results but neither he nor George W.Bush plans to make an endorsement this year despite every national GOP lawmaker running having pledged allegiance except three individuals who remain silent on his campaign efforts thus far.<\/p>\n<p>Independent candidate Robert F.Kennedy Jr., suspended his campaign earlier opting instead to endorse Trump alongside Tulsi Gabbard who left Democrats previously plus Rod Blagojevich whom he pardoned during his presidency now backs Trump&#8217;s third run at office too!<\/p>\n<p>*Organizations &amp; Business Leaders*: Various organizations such as police unions lend their backing towards Trump alongside billionaire hedge fund managers like Bill Ackman plus Tesla CEO Elon Musk being one notable Fortune500 figure supporting his bid again!<\/p>\n<p>*Celebrities &amp; Athletes*: A range of musicians show allegiance towards him including Jason Aldean amongst others whereas Brittany Mahomes publicly supported until recent comments made by trump regarding Swift caused reconsideration although Patrick Mahomes himself stays neutral politically speaking! Other athletes endorsing include Jake Paul plus Herschel Walker further solidifying Trump&#8217;s appeal across different sectors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2343749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trump-kamala-shake-hands-1.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[41304,21510,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2343748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-election-cycle","tag-endorsements","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trump-kamala-shake-hands-1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
