Former conservative Judge Michael Luttig announced his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, citing President Donald Trump’s corruption of America’s democracy as the reason for his decision. Luttig, known for his influential voice among Republicans, worked as a law clerk for prominent conservative figures before his judicial appointment. He argued that Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results pose a threat to the constitutional order, despite the numerous recounts and audits that confirmed Joe Biden’s victory. Luttig avoided mentioning Trump by name in his statement but focused on the former president’s actions and false claims. He emphasized the importance of upholding America’s democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law in the upcoming election. The endorsement comes as Harris prepares to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, followed by President Biden’s speech at the party’s national convention. Luttig’s decision to vote for Harris reflects his stance against Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results through unlawful means and his belief that the former president’s actions have damaged America’s democratic system.
