The second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago featured not only well-known Democrats like former President Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama and Doug Emhoff (presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ husband), but also, some conservative Republicans who are backing Harris — including Stephanie Grisham (who served as press secretary for the Trump White House as well as former First Lady Melania Trump), Ana Navarro (a GOP strategist known for her scathing Never Trump commentary on CNN and “The View”) and Mesa, Arizona Mayor John C. Giles.

    They didn’t care before because it was in their interest to support him. Now it’s not.

    There are a few who truly paid the price of opposing him and I can at least respect that. Kinzinger, Cheney, for examples…not that I would agree with them on much, but they at least stood up to Trump when it mattered.
