\n Former Sen. Jeff Flake has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the former vice president\u2019s campaign said Monday.<\/p>\n

Flake (R-Ariz.), who retired from the Senate early last year, will deliver remarks later on Monday as part of the launch of the \u201cRepublicans for Biden\u201d effort featuring two-dozen GOP former members of Congress.<\/p>\n

The former senator was an early and frequent Trump critic during their few overlapp<\/a>ing years in Washington DC, becoming more vocal in his disapproval of the commander-in-chief after announcing he would not seek re-election.<\/p>\n

His speech Monday will focus on why he has decided to support Biden over Trump, who he did not vote for in the 2016 race.<\/p>\n

Also featured as part of the \u201cRepublicans for Biden\u201d coalition are Sens. Gordon Humphrey (R-NH) and John Warner (R-Va.), as well as Reps. Steve Bartlett (R-Tx.), Bill Clinger (R-Penn.), Tom Coleman (R-Mo.), Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), Charles Djou (R-Hawaii), Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.), Wayne Gilchrest (R-Mary.), Jim Greenwood (R-Pa.), Bob Inglis (R-SC), Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.), Steve Kuykendall (R-Calif.), Ray LaHood (R-Ill.), Jim Leach (R-Iowa), and Susan Molinari (R-NY).<\/p>\n

Citing a Biden campaign official with knowledge of the \u201cRepublicans for Biden\u201d effort, which is part of the campaign\u2019s national voter outreach effort, Fox News<\/a> described the endorsements as a \u201cstrong rebuke\u201d of President Trump and his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese former members of Congress cited Trump\u2019s corruption, destruction of democracy, blatant disregard for moral decency, and urgent need to get the country back on course as a reason why they support Biden,\u201d the Team Biden source told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese former Members of Congress are supporting Joe Biden because they know what\u2019s at stake in this election and that Trump\u2019s failures as President have superseded partisanship,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n

In December, the Arizona Republican penned an op-ed urging his former GOP colleagues to vote \u201cyes\u201d on impeaching President Trump, warning that those who were complicit to his alleged wrongdoings \u201ccede our constitutional responsibilities [and] set the most dangerous of precedents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news comes ahead of the first day of the 2020 Republican National Convention, where President Trump is expected to make appearances in some capacity every night of the week.<\/p>\n

During last week\u2019s Democratic National Convention, Republican former Gov. John Kasich endorsed Biden over his 2016 presidential rival.<\/p>\n

Standing at a literal fork in the road near his Ohio home, the CNN contributor urged listeners to vote for Biden, saying that Americans are \u201cbeing taken down the wrong road by a president who has pitted one against the other. [Trump is] unlike all of our best leaders before him who work to unite us.\u201d<\/p>\n

A representative for Flake could not immedia<\/a>tely be reached by The Post for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
