Marvin H. Edwards
Although he differed from his party on such issues as the presidential line-item veto, Edwards achieved high status among his Republican colleagues. He was a deputy Republican whip. From 1988 to 1992 he was House Republican Policy Committee chair, the fourth-ranking Republican leadership position in the House. During 1989–90 he also chaired the House Republican Research Committee.
In 1991 the Committee on Ethics revealed that several members of Congress, including Edwards, had overdrawn on their House bank accounts. The Oklahoma congressman's bad checks totaled $54,000, placing him in the bottom half of the worst offenders. The scandal contributed to his loss in the 1992 Republican primary. After leaving Congress, Edwards joined the faculty at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and he eventually became the John Quincy Adams Lecturer in Legislative Politics. He has also served an advisor to Harvard's Institute of Politics.
Edwards married five times and has three children.

What did Mickey Edwards say about Kamala Harris, Donald Trump?
In the piece published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Edwards urged Americans to vote for Harris due to the importance of foreign policy.
He wrote that U.S. allies cannot trust Trump, adding that countries like China, Russia and North Korea are authoritarian and could buy a Trump administration through flattery.
Harris works across the aisle, Edwards wrote, and is a potential president that Western leaders will respect. Edwards wrote that the Americans needs a serious person to lead the country as tyrants threaten the U.S. and its allies.

[Dems propaganda]
"When Trump purports to represent the United States, our allies roll their eyes, and our enemies wink and smirk. They see the little man with the big ego and rub their hands together in joy." - Mickey Edwards
