Bush, the Republican senator for Utah and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Florida Rep. Francis Rooney will not support Trump's re-election, while Republican officials are considering voting for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the presidential election and that Because of Trump's positions in various areas, including the suppression of protests denouncing police violence against the background of the killing of Jorah Floyd, an African American, as well as his failed and late response to the Corona pandemic, which has killed more than 112,000 people so far.
The writer added that anti-Trump public statements have accelerated among the Republican Party and the military in recent days, against the backdrop of his repeated calls to physically restrict and "control" the protesters and his orders to vacate the streets outside the White House so that he can go out to take a photo in front of a church, considering that this behavior Some leaders convinced that they could no longer remain silent.
The newspaper also quoted an unidentified Republican member of the Republican party saying that he would "prefer Biden to win if the Republican Party maintains a majority in the Senate," noting that there are many Republicans seeking to defeat Trump.
