The letter, led by Season 3 winner Kendra Todd, stated that the signatories felt obligated to respond to the request. Letter from Harris after their fellow candidates claimed they “spoke to dozens of them to confirm that we shared their observations about Trump’s character.”

Todd, now a real estate broker, told Fox News Digital: “What bothered me the most was how they claimed to have spoken with dozens of us former contestants on the show and They thought they represented the majority of the castmates and I just don’t believe that to be true.

The signatories said they were able to see Trump up close and saw a man who “embodied charisma and salesmanship.”

“But our long, up-close and personal experiences with Donald have also revealed his serial history as a divisive, self-serving and erratic leader with a fragile ego,” the pro-Harris letter reads. “We saw with our own eyes how he demanded one-sided loyalty, the trace of his broken promises, his willingness to lie and take advantage of people, and how virulently he attacked each time he was triggered by the slightest criticism.”

The letter asserted that America needs a leader “oriented toward a better future and focused on solutions.”

“America needs stable leadership, achieved through real character rather than world-class TV editing. That’s why we will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5.”

“You have to remember that we filmed this… 20 years ago. So we’ve known him for a very long time. And nothing they say in this letter is consistent with the man that any of us knows,” Todd said. . “So we just felt like we needed to say it publicly and say that was not the majority opinion of those who were on the show. We’re grateful for the opportunity. We’re grateful for what he did for our country. And we support Donald Trump.
