In his endorsement last week, he said the Republican Party had \u201clost track\u201d under former President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur party used to stand for the belief that every Arizonan, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the freedom, opportunity and security to live out their American Dream,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Republicans have yet to course correct,\u201d Giles continued. \u201cThe Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our fundamental freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giles further warned last week that he believes Trump won\u2019t leave office if he is elected to a second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harris campaign\u2019s \u201cRepublicans for Harris\u201d launch last week included 25 elected and formerly elected GOP officials backing the vice president. Giles is a co-chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That group is headlined by former Trump administration aides Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye, as well as former Reps. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), Susan Molinari (R-N.Y.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other endorsements came from former GOP Govs. Bill Weld (Mass.), Christine Todd Whitman (N.J.) and Jim Edgar (Ill.), the campaign announced Sunday. It also highlighted that former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) endorsed Harris after backing President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump led Biden in Arizona polling, though recent polls have shown Harris neck and neck with the former president in the state. Arizona Democrats hope having Harris at the top of the ticket can improve their chances of winning the state\u2019s Senate race in November, where Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is hoping to succeed the departing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Republican mayor in Arizona who bucked his party to endorse Vice President Harris was invited to attend the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month, he told The Arizona Republic on Monday.
