An article in today's issue of "The New York Times" gave me the idea od having a running thread on prominent Republicans who will not support the re-election of President Trump. (That is the topic of the article.) Some of the people will actively support the election of forner Vice-President Joe Biden and some have not, yet, committed to do so or will not.
I thought that as time goes on the list of people may change and that it would be interesting to watch it.
"Former President George W. Bush won’t support the re-election of Mr. Trump, and Jeb Bush isn’t sure how he’ll vote, say people familiar with their thinking. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah won’t back Mr. Trump and is deliberating whether to again write in his wife, Ann, or cast another ballot this November. Cindy McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, is almost certain to support Mr. Biden but is unsure how public to be about it because one of her sons is eying a run for office.
And former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced on Sunday that he will vote for Mr. Biden, telling CNN that Mr. Trump 'lies about things' and Republicans in Congress won’t hold him accountable. Mr. Powell, who voted for former President Barack Obama as well as Hillary Clinton, said he was close to Mr. Biden politically and socially and had worked with him for more than 35 years. 'I’ll be voting for him,' he said."
And do not forget The Lincoln Project.

Vote for Trump? These Republican Leaders Aren’t on the Bandwagon (Published 2020)
Former President George W. Bush and Senator Mitt Romney won’t support Mr. Trump’s re-election. Colin Powell will vote for Joe Biden, and other G.O.P. officials may do the same.
