WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Over 100 former Republican officials will sign a letter on Thursday declaring that if the Republican Party does not break with former President Donald Trump and change course, they will back the creation of a third party.
The letter, headlined: "A Call For American Renewal," is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said. The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.
"The Republican Party is broken. It's time for a resistance of the 'rationals' against the 'radicals,'" said Miles Taylor, one of the organizers. Taylor, while serving in the Trump White House, wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times in 2018 headlined: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

Do it and show everyone who you really are.
I think they’ll be surprised what a minority they are.
Why don’t they just join Democrats.
The only reason I claim to be a Republican is Donald J. Trump!!!
In the snl stewardess voice.. bye-bye 👋
Then they’ll have to raise money and find people who will actually work for them and go door to door and they’ll actually have to campaign and when their pollsters tell them they are really taking votes from democrats...yeh go ahead
I like that it is forcing them to break off. This shows how much support Trump still has WITH THE PEOPLE.
Good riddance you pathetic weak traitorous scum! (These RINOs, not you Mariner.)
I'm sure they have been voting that way for years. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Do these clowns have any self awareness? I know it’s difficult when your head is up your poop chute.
They already are. Just won’t admit it.
Don’t talk....do!
Of course we’re creating a 3rd Party. It’s called “Mitt Romney’s Living Room”, and he and the RINDs are the only ones in it.
Just for discussion. Shades of 1912 with the same result?
The establishment Republicans ARE the anti-Trump party. Why would they want to start a new party?
They should call themselves “Bush League Republicans.”
3rd party? I just want a real second party. Assistant Democrats aren’t Republicans ...they might as well join the real thing.
Oh nose not a third party if you don’t get your way. Please hurry up. The person mentioned never had any contact with Trump and was actually way down in the basement when they made all those false claims.
Hope they leave soon, no one cares
