Over 100 former Republican officials have also endorsed her, citing concerns about Trump.
Harris's backing includes labor unions such as the United Auto Workers and the Service Employees International Union.

She has endorsements from business leaders, civil rights organizations, and celebrities like Taylor Swift, who helped mobilize voter registration.
Trump is endorsed by most Republican officials, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Former candidates like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have also backed him. Trump has support from various organizations, including police unions and business leaders.
In the celebrity realm, Trump has endorsements from artists like Kid Rock and Jason Aldean. Brittany Mahomes, wife of NFL star Patrick Mahomes, has shown support but is reconsidering her position after Trump’s comments about Swift.
