West Michigan Republican and former U.S. Rep. Fred Upton is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 bid for the White House, saying his party's nominee, former President Donald Trump, is divisive, unhinged and has "not changed his colors."

"Watching Trump day after day, he's ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues," Upton 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."

Upton of St. Joseph, who served 36 years in the U.S. House, is the highest profile Republican in Michigan to publicly back the Democratic presidential nominee. He often has split his ticket, but this year was his first time voting for a Democrat for president, which he already did by absentee ballot, he said.
