Several Republican campaign staffers who worked on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign are looking to make a splash by announcing they have turned their backs on President Donald Trump and the Republican party this year to support Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden instead.
According to The Washington Times, Micah Spangler, who was a staffer in southern Florida for the Republican Party during the race, told fellow campaign veterans in emails Friday and over the weekend that he is working with the Biden team “to cultivate a network of Romney alums that want to help elect Joe in November.”
In a separate email, Spangler told The Times that “he has received an outpouring of support over the first few days.”
“Dozens and dozens of Romney 2012 staffers have ‘signed up’ — and there’s plenty more outreach to do,” he said in the email, according to The Washington Times.
Spangler didn’t disclose what motivated him to flip.
