Harris’ campaign has been committed to targeting frustrated Republican voters throughout this election, and that appears to be her strategy heading into the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week.
Several Republicans are scheduled to speak on the main stage at the Democratic National Convention this week, ranging from well-known figures who served in the Trump administration to lesser-known former Trump supporters.
