Special Poll
Gonzales’ Concern Over Trump: Alberto Gonzales, former attorney general under George W. Bush, expressed deep concerns over Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, calling him a “serious threat to the rule of law.” Gonzales believes Trump’s past conduct shows he would abuse presidential power for personal and political gain.
Support for Kamala Harris: Though a Republican, Gonzales has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, emphasizing that her experience as a prosecutor and former attorney general of California makes her the best candidate to uphold the rule of law and unite the nation.
Importance of Character in Leadership: Gonzales stressed the importance of character in the upcoming election, noting that Congress has failed to effectively check executive power. He pointed to Trump’s legal troubles and the January 6 Capitol attack as examples of why Trump cannot be trusted with the presidency.
Supreme Court Limitations: Gonzales also expressed concern about the Supreme Court’s ability to check presidential power, warning that recent rulings may enable a president to take official actions for personal reasons.
Harris’ Commitment to Justice: Although Gonzales admits that voters may not know exactly how Harris would govern as president, he emphasized her strong commitment to justice and the rule of law, qualities he believes are critical in a leader.
This endorsement is part of a broader trend of prominent Republicans, including Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney, supporting Harris.
