Over 100 Republicans sign letter threatening to form third party
More than 100 Republicans, including some former elected officials, have signed a letter threatening to break from the GOP and form a third party, taking aim at the party’s embrace of former President Donald Trump and his continued false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen.” “We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative.” Naming the effort, “A Call for American Renewal,” the group is calling for the Republican Party “to rededicate itself to founding ideals—or else hasten the creation of an alternative.”
