A Reuters exclusive has reported that dozens of former Republican officials are in talks to form a new third party, aimed to be anti-Trump.
According to Reuters, "The early stage discussions include former elected Republicans, former officials in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump, ex-Republican ambassadors and Republican strategists, the people involved say."
More than 120 of these Republicans had a Zoom call, co-hosted by failed former Presidential challenger Evan McMullin.
"Large portions of the Republican Party are radicalizing and threatening American democracy," McMullin told Reuters. "The party needs to recommit to truth, reason and founding ideals or there clearly needs to be something new."

Asked about the discussions for a third party, Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman, said: "These losers left the Republican Party when they voted for Joe Biden."
New party name ideas include the Integrity Party and the Center Right Party.
