Republican critics of President Trump plan to hold their own convention to run counter-programming to the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. this summer.
The Convention on Founding Principles, which The Republicans for a New President campaign is spearheading, will also take place in Charlotte from Aug. 24-27 and feature “speakers, thinkers and leaders from across the country,†the group said. Delegates at the event will also ratify organizing principles, vote for preferred candidates and “plan future actions.â€
“For three and a half years, the nation and the Republican Party have suffered under the failed leadership, corrupt dealings, and incessant lies of Donald J. Trump. Rather than maintain their principles, other Republican leaders sold their integrity for personal benefit and became his enablers,†the group said. “[P]rincipled and former Republicans must now unite in offering a vision for better leadership and a brighter future for America.â€
