Some officials formerly working at the Republican National Committee are refusing to support their party's nominee, US President Donald Trump for reelection.

Ryan Mahoney, who ran communications for the party apparatus during Trump’s first two years in office, Doug Heye, who directed communications for the RNC in the first years of the Obama administration, and Lisa Miller, who ran the communications shop during former President George W. Bush’s administration, are joining the unprecedented list of Republican strategists refusing to endorse the president against former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday’s election.

“Proud to vote country over party. Proud to vote for @JoeBiden,” Mahoney said on Twitter.

Heye also said that he had written in Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney, the GOP nominee in 2012.

Miller and Trevor Francis, Heye’s predecessor, meanwhile voted for the Democratic nominee.

“It was a choice, and I chose country over party,” Miller said.

Former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina and former Ohio Governor John Kasich, who both ran against Trump in 2016 primaries, are also backing Biden.
