Why Jeff Flake still believes the spell over his party will break
Excerpt:
“Jeff Flake is something of a maverick in today’s Republican Party. He was an early and consistent critic of President Trump. In December 2015, when then-candidate Trump floated a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering” the United States—a preview of what became his now-infamous executive order barring travel to the U.S. by people from several Muslim-majority countries—Flake, then a United States senator from Arizona, immediately spoke up. The idea repulsed him. He made a visit to a mosque in Scottsdale days later to declare that what people were seeing from Trump on the campaign trail was not representative of America.”

Kamala Harris Gets New Republican Endorsement From Critical Swing State
"I believe that our best days lie ahead. I want to support a candidate for President who believes the same," former U.S. Senator Jeff Flake
President Kamala Harris received a new Republican endorsement from a critical swing state on Sunday as former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake endorsed her for president.
Flake is the latest in a number of prominent current and former Republicans who have emerged as some of Harris' most ardent supporters as the Democratic presidential nominee looks to win over conservative and moderate voters put off by former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, ahead of this year's election.
Flake, a Republican who has long been critical of Trump, announced in a post on X, formerly Twitter, his endorsement of Harris and wrote," I'll be supporting @KamalaHarris for President and @Tim_Walz for Vice President."
"I'm a conservative Republican who had the honor to serve my home state of Arizona in the United States House of Representatives and Senate for nearly two decades. I believe that America is a great country. I believe that our best days lie ahead. I want to support a candidate for President who believes the same," Flake said in a statement.
The former senator added: "I believe that we don't have to agree on every issue or policy, but that we should use the political process created by our Founders to debate and persuade, not disparage and demonize. For all of these reasons, I'll be supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Walz for Vice President. I would encourage all Republicans who feel this way to do the same. After all, in times like these, there is nothing more conservative than putting country over party."
In 2021 ahead of Congress' joint session, Flake encouraged his fellow Republicans to stand up to Trump and his efforts to block the certification of the 2020 election results.
"It is hard to comprehend how so many of my fellow Republicans were able — and are still able — to engage in the fantasy that they had not abruptly abandoned the principles they claimed to believe in," Flake wrote in an op-ed at the time published in The New York Times.
After serving six terms in the House of Representatives and six years in the Senate, the lifelong Republican decided not to seek a second term in the Senate after the GOP embraced Trump. He previously served as U.S. ambassador to Turkey after President Joe Biden nominated him in 2021, assuming the post in 2022.
Flake's endorsement comes at a time when the vice president could use a boost in Arizona, a critical swing state with 11 Electoral College votes.
Battleground states, including Arizona, will play a key role in determining the result of this year's election due to the Electoral College, which awards each state a certain number of electoral votes based on population. A presidential candidate needs to secure 270 electoral votes for victory, and winning the national popular vote does not guarantee success. Surveys from battleground states may be more telling than those of national polls.
