Alberto Gonzales became the latest alum who served under the George W. Bush administration to endorse Democrat Vice President Harris for president.

Gonzales, who described himself as the "only lawyer in American history to serve both as White House counsel and as attorney general," laid out his stance in an op-ed published in Politico on Thursday.

"As the United States approaches a critical election, I can’t sit quietly as Donald Trump — perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation — eyes a return to the White House. For that reason, though I’m a Republican, I’ve decided to support Kamala Harris for president," Gonzales wrote. "Power is intoxicating and based on Trump’s rhetoric and conduct it appears unlikely that he would respect the power of the presidency in all instances; rather, he would abuse it for personal and political gain, and not on behalf of the American people."

Gonzales took issue with the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Trump v. United States that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official – but not unofficial – acts committed while in office.
