Former co-chair of Nikki Haley’s Iowa campaign, Jack Whitver, has announced his endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2020 presidential race. In an opinion piece published in the Des Moines Register, Whitver explained his decision to support the California senator over his former candidate, citing her strong campaign message and ability to appeal to a broad range of voters.
Whitver highlighted Harris’ experience as a prosecutor and attorney general, as well as her tenure in the U.S. Senate, noting that she has the necessary qualifications to lead the country. He also praised her plan for criminal justice reform and her commitment to addressing issues such as climate change and healthcare.
While acknowledging that he had previously worked for Haley’s campaign, Whitver made it clear that his endorsement of Harris was based on his belief that she is the best candidate to defeat President Trump in the upcoming election. He expressed confidence in Harris’ ability to unite Democrats and create a foundation for a successful campaign.
Whitver’s endorsement comes at a crucial time in the Democratic primary race, as candidates vie for support in the early primary states. His decision to switch his allegiance from one candidate to another may influence other voters and donors to consider Harris as a viable contender.
As the Iowa caucuses draw nearer, Harris will likely benefit from Whitver’s endorsement and the attention it brings to her campaign. With his experience in Iowa politics and his previous support for Haley, Whitver’s endorsement could give Harris an edge in the competitive primary race.
