'I am no longer a Republican': Longtime GOP insiders ditch party after Trump wins primary

Some Republican voters have decided enough is enough after Donald Trump won the GOP's primary for the 2024 presidential election.

Trump bragged that he "trounced" his former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, which further disaffected some of her voters. But some Republicans have said that the party's choosing Trump itself is enough to renounce the group.

Conservative attorney Heath Mayo, who recently took exception to a MAGA caller on C-SPAN who compared the former president's legal travails to those suffered by the late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, is one of those ex-Republicans.

"It’s official. To be a good Republican today, you have to support Donald Trump; be against aiding Ukraine; support absurd tariffs; think our courts and elections are rigged; & believe character doesn’t matter," Mayo wrote Wednesday. "I simply don’t believe in any of that. I am no longer a Republican."

Mayo in a separate post explained what he thinks should come next.

"Replacing MAGA with a healthy center-right political home after 2024 will be a multicycle project, but it’s some of the most important civic work that can be done for the future of our country," he wrote. "Defeat Trumpism in 2024—and then replace it root-to-stem after that."

He continued:

"If built on the right principles & ideas, this new center-right home could reach everyone from Manchin, Sinema and Cuban to Cheney, Romney, Kinzinger, Crenshaw & Haley. There’s a big set in this lane, but they’re split between R & D and don’t coordinate. But that can change."

Mayo isn't the only one.

Former Republican lawmaker and State Party Chairman Chris Vance had this to say:

"I was a Republican for 37 years. I served as a Republican lawmaker and the State Party Chairman of Washington state," he said Wednesday. "This year I will once again support Joe Biden for President. The party I belonged to has been transformed into a protofascist disgrace. Country before Party."
