WASHINGTON - More than two-dozen former Republican lawmakers, including former senator Jeff Flake, endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president on Monday , the first day of the Republican National Convention, in the latest rebuke of US President Donald Trump by members of his own party.
They cited Trump's"corruption, destruction of democracy, blatant disregard for moral decency, and urgent need to get the country back on course" as reasons for the move, according to a campaign statement. The former lawmakers represent only the latest Republican group to endorse the Democratic presidential nominee and oppose Mr Trump in the Nov 3 election, illustrating how the Republican President has alienated members of his own party.
