More Republicans dump Trump: Millennials, women, and elected officials

The list of Republicans supporting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton grew over the weekend as several more prominent members of the GOP renounced Donald Trump.

In recent days, Trump has faced criticism over his feud with the parents of a Muslim American solder who was killed in the Iraq War, and his initial refusal to endorse Speaker Paul Ryan, and Republican Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte, who are facing primary elections.

The Clinton campaign quickly went to work poaching Republicans who were on the fence about supporting Trump and urged them to support Clinton instead.

On Monday, former Michigan Gov. William Milliken announced his support for Clinton.

“This nation has long prided itself on its abiding commitments to tolerance, civility and equality,” Milliken said in a statement. “We face a critically important choice in this year’s presidential election that will define whether we maintain our commitment to those ideals or embark on a path that has doomed other governments and nations throughout history.”
