More than 700 former military and national security officials endorse Harris, say Trump is ‘impulsive and ill-informed’

More than 700 former national security and military officials endorsed Kamala Harris for president over Donald Trump in the 2024 election, citing her serious leadership qualities compared to Trump’s vengeful impulsiveness. The bipartisan group highlighted Harris’ ability to make rational decisions and criticized Trump for undermining democracy and relationships with allies. The endorsement letter also mentioned Trump’s controversial actions, such as abandoning Kurdish fighters and attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. Harris’ campaign has been targeting conservative and moderate voters, with endorsements from high-profile Republicans like Dick Cheney. The letter emphasized the importance of choosing a Commander-in-Chief who values democracy and respects the Constitution.
