The Republican mayor of Arizona’s third-largest city has publicly denounced former President Donald Trump and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Now Mesa Mayor John Giles — who has focused on climate action — is set to take a prominent role in Harris’ campaign for the White House.
Giles is part of the group Republicans for Harris and will attend a rally with the vice president in the Phoenix area Friday evening. Giles is also poised to attend the Democratic National Convention later this month.
“Donald Trump and [Republican vice presidential nominee] JD Vance represent the greatest threat to American values and institutions that I have seen in my lifetime — and that’s why I am committed to defeating him in November,” Giles said in a statement.
