Pennsylvania’s Nikki Haley voters will be getting a call in the coming months urging them to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris — or at the very least, to not vote at all.

A group of moderate Pennsylvania Republicans, led by former GOP Rep. Jim Greenwood, launched Republican Voters for Harris on Monday, with plans to reach out to every Republican in Pennsylvania. The group has a particular focus on the 158,000 registered Republicans who voted for Haley back in April in the state’s Republican presidential primary.

Haley herself has said she’s voting for former President Donald Trump despite campaigning against him. Trump has also repeatedly bashed Haley voters, saying in March that he’s sure they’ll get on board with him, but that “I’m not sure we need too many.” (Pennsylvania was decided by fewer than 100,000 votes in both 2016 and 2020.)
