Republican national security officials -- from the Reagan, Bush/Quayle, and Bush/Cheney administrations -- all of whom endorsed Biden.
There was some question at the time as to what would happen after Election Day had come and gone. After all, we were talking about lifelong Republican voters who'd been disgusted by Donald Trump, who ended up losing.
These officials, some who served in the highest echelons of the Bush administration, said they had hoped that a Trump defeat would lead party leaders to move on from the former president and denounce his baseless claims that the November presidential election was stolen. But with most Republican lawmakers sticking to Trump, these officials say they no longer recognize the party they served.
Jimmy Gurule, who was undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence in the Bush/Cheney administration, told Reuters,"The Republican Party as I knew it no longer exists. I'd call it the cult of Trump." Kristopher Purcell, who worked in the Bush White House's communications office for six years, added that he knows of dozens of former Bush/Cheney officials who've decided to leave the party or are cutting ties with it, from conversations he has been having.
