Presidential debate: Did Kamala Harris or Donald Trump win?
The last debate knocked President Joe Biden off the race for president. USA TODAY’S Susan Page says this one may set up Harris or Trump to win.
A longtime Republican Oklahoma legislator and Heritage Foundation trustee is making waves this week after he endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for U.S. president.
Edwards, whose real name is Marvin H. Edwards, was a Republican U.S. congressman representing Oklahoma’s 5th congressional district from 1977 to 1993.
He was a founding trustee of the Heritage Foundation and national chairman of the American Conservative Union and the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Before serving in Congress, Edwards was a journalist in Oklahoma. He continued to write pieces in office for publications like The New York Times and the Washington Post.
The endorsement gained additional traction online after it was shared on X by Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt. The mayor hasn’t officially endorsed a presidential candidate, but he’s publicly criticized Republican nominee Donald Trump.
What did Mickey Edwards say about Kamala Harris, Donald Trump?
In the piece published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards urged Americans to vote for Harris due to the importance of foreign policy.
He wrote that U.S. allies cannot trust Trump, adding that countries like China, Russia and North Korea are authoritarian and could buy a Trump administration through flattery.
Harris works across the aisle, Edwards wrote, and is a potential president that Western leaders will respect. Edwards wrote that the Americans needs a serious person to lead the country as tyrants threaten the U.S. and its allies.
