Bush, Romney and Colin Powell Won't Support Trump Re-Election
WASHINGTON It was one thing in 2016 for top Republicans to take a stand against Donald J. Trump for president: He wasnt likely to win anyway, the thinking went, and there was no ongoing conservative governing agenda that would be endangered.
The 2020 campaign is different: Opposing the sitting president of your own party means putting policy priorities at risk, in this case appointing conservative judges, sustaining business-friendly regulations and cutting taxes as well as incurring the volcanic wrath of Mr. Trump.
But, far sooner than they expected, growing numbers of prominent Republicans are debating how far to go in revealing that they wont back his re-election or might even vote for Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee. Theyre feeling a fresh urgency because of Mr. Trumps incendiary response to the protests of police brutality, atop his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private discussions.
