Here are the Republican speakers at the DNC

The Harris campaign has made a concerted effort this cycle to target disillusioned Republican voters, and the vice president’s strategy going into the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week appears to be the same.

Several Republicans are scheduled to speak on the main stage of the convention this week — from high-profile figures who served in former President Trump’s administration to lesser-known former Trump voters.

“We will be putting patriotic Republicans front and center in our convention programming to explain, in their own words, why they are putting country first and supporting Vice President Harris,” Austin Weatherford, the Harris campaign’s director of Republican engagement, said in a statement ahead of the convention.

Here are the Republican speakers who have either spoken already at the convention or confirmed they will speak Thursday. (The convention has not released the speaker schedule for the rest of the week.)
