Judge Luttig Endorses Kamala Harris for 2024

Retired conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig, a longtime GOP supporter, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election, breaking from his usual voting pattern due to his concerns about Donald Trump's threat to American democracy. Luttig cited Trump's false claims about the 2020 election and his support for the January 6th rioters as reasons for his decision, stating these actions have severely undermined public trust in the electoral process. He emphasized that, despite differing policy views, Harris is the only candidate who can defend the Constitution, democracy, and the rule of law. Luttig has previously criticized Trump and testified before the House Select Committee about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. His endorsement is part of a broader Democratic strategy to attract disillusioned Republicans ahead of the 2024 election.
