Former Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
The mayor of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and former Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton both endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, saying Donald Trump is unfit to serve and Harris would bring the country together.

Both men come from critical swing states that could decide the 2024 election, and said they were speaking out publicly about their vote to provide a permission structure for other Republicans who are disgusted by Trump’s behavior to reject his candidacy.

"Watching Trump day after day, he's ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues," Upton, 71, a moderate Republican from the Detroit suburbs who served in the House for 36 years, told The Detroit News. "Instead, he's still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He's just totally unhinged. We don't need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that's why I'm where I am."

Meanwhile, Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly, whose district is a critical Republican stronghold in a swing state, said his vote for Harris is to stop Trump.
