Adam Kinzinger among many Republicans to speak at DNC

Every night of the DNC, GOP members from a former press secretary for the Trump White House to a former "full-fledged member of MAGA," have been given a chance to stand at the podium and address the Democratic delegates in Chicago.

At least seven Republicans have been given time to speak to their longtime rivals -- including Rep. Adam Kinzinger who was given a prime-time speaking slot Thursday night -- and all of them said they've dumped Trump and are supporting Harris.
