The 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago has come to a close, with the party formally nominating Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to the presidential ticket for the November general election.
While the week of speeches and performances at the United Center was packed with a message of pride and unity for the Democratic Party, it wasn’t just Democrats who delivered remarks at the event.
Several Republicans spoke at this week’s DNC, primarily offering a message of distancing themselves from the conservative principles of the current Republican Party and the policies of former President Donald Trump.
In addition to several prominent Republican speakers, videos played throughout the convention showed testimony from Americans who had previously voted for Trump, expressing the reasons why they felt disillusioned and decided to support Harris instead.
Among the Republican speakers at this year’s DNC was former Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger, who has emerged as a vocal Trump critic since the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
Below is a full look at the Republicans who spoke at the DNC this week:
- Stephanie Grisham – White House Press Secretary (2019-2020)
- Ana Navarro – Political commentator/talk show host
- John Giles – Mayor of Mesa, Arizona (2014–present)
- Olivia Troye – Former Trump administration official
- Geoff Duncan – Lieutenant Governor of Georgia (2019-2023)
- Adam Kinzinger – U.S. Representative from Illinois (2011-2023)
