Three more Republicans will join former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, in speaking at the Democratic National Convention in a bid to appeal to "silent" Joe Biden voters who do not like President Trump.

The additional Republicans are former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, former New York Rep. Susan Molinari, and Meg Whitman, who is CEO of short-form video app Quibi and was the 2010 Republican nominee in the California governor's race.

The four Republicans will speak Monday night, the first night of the Democratic convention, under the theme, "We the People Putting Country Over Party." The overarching theme of the night is "We the People."

Christine Todd Whitman was governor of New Jersey from 1994 to 2001 and then joined the Bush administration as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency until 2003. She faced criticism for saying shortly after 9/11 that the air and water in New York were safe to breathe and drink despite the collapse of the World Trade Center. She later apologized for the remark in 2016. She supported Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld in his long-shot challenge to Trump in the 2020 Republican primary.

Molinari joined the House in a 1990 special election and resigned from her House seat in 1997 in order to take a job hosting a Saturday morning news show at CBS. She gave the keynote speech at the 1996 Republican National Convention. She later became a Washington lobbyist and a Google public policy executive.

Meg Whitman was a supporter of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney's presidential runs in 2008 and 2012 and was a rumored possible cabinet pick had he won the 2012 election. She was co-chairwoman of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's 2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. After Trump won the nomination, she supported Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. She has contributed $500,000 to the joint fundraising effort between Biden and the Democratic National Committee.
