"Ex-Trump Officials Lead Opposition to White House Return"

Former Trump officials, including Mark Esper, John Bolton, and Mike Pence, are vocal in their opposition to his bid for a third presidency, citing concerns about his conduct and leadership. While some Republican lawmakers and officials have endorsed Trump's campaign, a significant number of former aides and Cabinet officials have warned against his return to power, highlighting a deep schism within the party. The criticism from former officials is being used by the Biden campaign to sway Republican voters, while Trump continues to garner support from other former administration members and loyalists.
