'Herds of Republicans' may flock to Harris in hopes of saving party: Georgia Republican
Georgia's former lieutenant governor predicted that "herds of Republicans" would back Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.
Geoff Duncan, a lifelong Republican who attended this year's Democratic National Convention and has endorsed Harris, told CNN that the election offered GOP voters a chance to resuscitate their party by handing the former president another defeat.
"I didn't get into politics and expect to be doing this," Duncan said. "This is where I believe is the best place for us to be able to hit the reset button and create a GOP 2.0, a party that focuses and defends on policies and uses empathy to grow the size of the tent and use a tone that invites and encourages. I think all Republicans, for the most part, including the ones voting for Donald Trump, would agree he's not the future of the party. I think we're in this awkward spot where regardless of whether Donald Trump wins or loses, this party's got this short window of time to get it right, to start taking our own medicine."

"If Donald Trump wins there's no doubt he'll wreck the car and continue to soil the brand of being a Republican, and so I think you're going to watch entire herds of Republicans look for somewhere else that's more respectable," Duncan added. "That could mean we could start hemorrhaging to Democrats by droves. If Kamala Harris wins and does govern towards the middle, she has a chance to grow the net total of the party if she does govern towards the middle. Not in the middle, she's a Democrat, but if she governs towards the middle like on the campaign trail and ask our opinion on certain policies she has a chance to grow the party."
