A high-profile Republican will officially endorse Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, the Democratic nominee’s campaign announced Tuesday evening.
Former Navy secretary and Sen. John Warner is set to back Clinton Wednesday morning, adding his name to the list of conservatives who have picked the Obama Cabinet member over Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“The event will highlight how Hillary Clinton is by far the strongest and most experienced candidate on a full range of national security issues, and that she has the knowledge, steadiness and temperament to be Commander in Chief,” the Clinton campaign said in a press release.
The former Virginia senator will take the stage alongside Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine, a current senator representing Virginia, during a campaign event in Alexandria, Va. The endorsement could hurt Trump’s chances of turning the battleground state red.
Other former high-ranking Republicans who have endorsed Clinton include diplomat John Negroponte and Brent Scowcroft.
