When “Republicans for Harris” launched in early August, NBC News reported that the Democratic presidential nominee was eager to join her list of GOP supporters and that campaign officials were particularly keen to gain support from former Rep. Liz Cheney and former Sen. Jeff to catch up with flake.

About a month later, Cheney raised some eyebrows with her public support for Harris, and nearly a month after the Wyoming Republican’s announcement, Flake followed suit. Politico reported:

Not only did Flake, who recently ended his term as U.S. ambassador to Turkey, release a video endorsing the Democratic candidate, the Arizonan also appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” to offer his perspective – and his to criticize the party’s own candidate.

“I think Republicans in particular believe in the rule of law,” Flake said. “And it’s difficult to support a candidate who, after losing an election, tries to use presidential power to overturn that election. This is anything but respect for the rule of law. So I know that a lot of conservative Republicans feel like I do, that you just can’t support a candidate like that.”

The Arizona Republican’s endorsement came just days after former Kansas Republican Sen. Nancy Kassebaum also voiced her support for the incumbent Democratic vice president.

The news came after Harris received the endorsement of some Republicans who worked on Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign, as well as support from three former chairs of the Maine Republican Party.

It also follows weeks of corresponding support for Harris from former Republican governors, lawmakers, Cabinet secretaries, White House staffers and even a former Republican vice president who probably never dreamed he would support a Democratic presidential candidate.

At this point, however, readers may have noticed that I keep using a particular word: “former.” Because as impressive as Harris’ list of Republican supporters is, it doesn’t contain any current GOP members of Congress.

The question is whether or not that will change by Election Day.

Many prominent voices continue to apply pressure. Former Republican strategist/advisor Rick Wilson, for example, wrote on Friday: “Just saying you’re not voting for Trump and that you’re going to put a third-party candidate or someone not on the ballot is morally and politically inadequate.” It is not a sign of courage to simply reject Trump. It is not a sign of strength to say he is unfit to be president and then refuse to support Harris. (Some of you will secretly vote for Harris; that’s fine for the common people, but not for you.)

“The test here will only be met with a clear, public endorsement from Kamala Harris. Nothing else will do.”

Cheney commented on this earlier this month. “It’s critically important that people realize that not only what I just said about the danger posed by Trump should deter people from voting for him, but I don’t think we should “We can afford the luxury of writing on behalf of the candidates, especially in swing states,” said the Republican from Wyoming.

“As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this. And because of the danger posed by Donald Trump, not only will I not vote for Donald Trump, I will not vote for Kamala Harris.”

At the moment, much of the focus is on retiring Senator Mitt Romney, who has ruled out the possibility of voting for Trump but has resisted pressure to support Trump’s opponents.

“People know where I stand on Donald Trump, and that’s enough,” the Utah Republican told the Washington Post.

There are many credible voices in both parties who believe that this is certainly not enough.
