Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans who served on the select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, is set to speak at the Democratic National Convention this week. Kinzinger is scheduled to address convention delegates on Thursday night, the same evening Vice President Kamala Harris will also speak.
Kinzinger gained attention for being one of 10 House Republicans who voted for former President Donald Trump's impeachment for 'incitement of an insurrection' in connection to Trump's actions during the attack on the US Capitol. His decision to break ranks with his party on this issue has made him a notable figure in the political landscape.
Furthermore, Kinzinger has publicly endorsed Vice President Harris. Harris's campaign has initiated a 'Republicans for Harris' initiative, aiming to attract GOP voters who may have been disillusioned by Trump's leadership.
While Kinzinger's appearance at the Democratic National Convention is confirmed, there is speculation that other prominent Republicans may also address convention delegates. However, no official plans have been finalized regarding additional speakers from the Republican Party.
