On Capitol Hill, Sen. Lisa Murkowski conceded last week that she's"struggling" with how to deal with Trump's desire for a second term, while Rep. Francis Rooney told thehe hasn't backed a Democratic candidate in decades, but he may vote for Biden. The president, Rooney added, is"driving us all crazy."prominent GOP voices -- including George W. Bush and Colin Powell -- balked at supporting a Trump-led ticket.
For another, what's especially striking in the New York Times report on anti-Trump GOP officials is the number of Republicans who've worked directly with the president -- even having served in his cabinet.
It's striking enough when national GOP leaders withhold support from their own party's presidential ticket, but when Republicans like Coats, Mattis, and Kelly, among other former members of Trump's team, do the same thing, it's qualitatively different.
