Former Bush AG Alberto Gonzales joins former VP Dick Cheney in endorsing Kamala Harris

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has become the latest former Bush administration official to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, former President George W. Bush's running mate, recently announced he will also be voting for Harris. 

"Some may see her as too progressive and worry she would be too easily manipulated. There is little mystery or doubt, however, about how Trump will act and govern based on past behavior and comments," Gonzales wrote in an opinion piece for Politico on Thursday. 

"He will help those who help him and his family for personal or financial reasons. He will likely pull back from our leadership role among other democracies in the fight against authoritarianism. Based on spending levels during Trump’s first term, his policies will likely increase the national debt," he also wrote.

Gonzales, a Republican, wrote that while he disagrees with some of Harris' policies, he is "hopeful she will be open to dissenting views and will act always in a manner respectful of the power of all three branches of government." He also wrote that Harris would be a better choice to unite the country.

"We are a divided nation, but Harris appears — at least based in part on her performance at the Democratic National Convention and in her debate with Trump — the best suited, able and committed to unite us in a manner consistent with the rule of law," he wrote.
