GOP former Michigan Rep. Fred Upton endorses Kamala Harris for president

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

33% : And I've not been afraid to split my ballot from time to time but have never voted for a Democrat for president, until now," said Upton, who was one of 10 Republicans who split with his party to vote to impeach Trump for his role in instigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020 election for Democratic President Joe Biden.
28% : No evidence of widespread corruption was found and members of his own administration told Trump so.
24% : The former congressman said Trump is "unfit to serve" given the threat he posed to the peaceful transition of power following the 2020 election when he said that he had lost due to fraudulent practices in several swing states, including Michigan.
23% : The Senate did not reach the required number of votes to convict Trump following that impeachment by the House.
23% : Upton joins a string of Republicans who have endorsed Harris, including former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming who also voted to impeach Trump and who campaigned in Oakland County, Michigan, this week with Harris.
15% : Upton, who was excoriated by Trump and other Republicans for his vote, did not run for reelection in 2022 after his district was merged with another Michigan GOP member's, U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga.
14% : Meanwhile, Upton said, Trump continues to prove that he should not be elected with his behavior.
