Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign over the weekend launched a “Republicans for Harris” initiative, as her campaign looks to court moderate GOP voters and others who don’t support former President Donald Trump’s reelection bid for the White House.

The Harris team said the effort will be a “campaign within a campaign,” in which prominent Republicans will aim to attract moderates, independents and Republicans who voted for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley when she challenged Trump for the nomination. While Haley once stated she would never vote for Trump, she has since said she would.

The GOP drive will kick off on Monday with events in battleground states such as Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
