55% : I'm convinced that Harris has more ability to do that than Trump," Upton said, adding that Harris already supports the Senate's bipartisan package on immigration that Trump tanked earlier this year.
53% : Trump wrote in a statement at the time.
38% : West Michigan Republican and former U.S. Rep. Fred Upton is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 bid for the White House, saying his party's nominee, former President Donald Trump, is divisive, unhinged and has "not changed his colors.""Watching Trump day after day, he's ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues," Upton told The Detroit News.
38% : Trump's not changed his colors.
33% : They stressed that Trump only acts to further his own interests and represents a threat to U.S. democracy who doesn't respect the peaceful transfer of power.
31% : Trump has also attacked Upton over the years, celebrating in April 2022 when the long-time congressman announced his decision to retire after redistricting drew him into the same district as another GOP colleague: "UPTON QUITS!"
26% : Others losing badly, who's next?"Upton, a centrist, last year had trumpeted the No Labels independent presidential ticket effort that maintained that Americans didn't want a rematch of Trump and President Joe Biden in 2024 and aimed to field a third-party alternative.
9% : Trump in response insulted Cheney as "dumb as a rock" and a "war hawk ... who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind," Trump declared in a Truth Social post Monday.
