New party for anti-Trump Republicans? Here’s what we know so far – By Clifford Colby (CNET) / May 17 2021
Frustrated by the GOP’s direction, a group of Republicans is creating a new movement.
A group of Republican leaders frustrated by the direction its party has taken since Donald Trump was nominated for the presidency is pushing to “rededicate” the GOP to its founding ideals. The group, spearheaded by Republican and independent leaders, made its intention known in a public declaration titled A Call for American Renewal. More than 150 leaders have joined.
“We will not wait forever for the GOP to clean up its act,” Miles Taylor, a founder of the movement, tweeted after releasing the five-page document outlining the group’s concerns and goals. “If we cannot save the Republican Party from itself, we will help save America from extremist elements in the Republican Party.”
