Republican Leaders Urging Trump to Step Aside After 2005 Video Revelations
The 2005 video released on October 7 has made clear that there is no better Trump. He was who we thought he was all along.
In the wake of these revelations, Republican leaders have begun to step up in growing numbers to withdraw their support from Donald Trump and urge that he step down or be replaced as the GOP nominee. Such a move could open the door for Presidential electors to cast their vote for an alternative Republican candidate. This would also increase the possibility of the election being thrown into a Republican House of Representatives — with a qualified conservative candidate in the running.
The following Republicans have withdrawn their support from Trump or urged him to step aside in the wake of these damning revelations. This list will be updated as warranted.
