A group of Republicans unhappy with the course of the GOP is forming the Renew America Movement organization to recruit and support candidates in the most competitive 2022 House and Senate races.
The group plans to raise “tens of millions” of dollars to support or oppose candidates, regardless of party, to defeat “radical Republicans” who support former President Donald Trump in four to five Senate races and about two dozen House races in next year’s midterm elections. It will also recruit candidates to run in GOP primaries or as independents under the Renew America Movement banner.
A group of more than 150 former Republican governors, members of Congress and cabinet officials released a “call for American renewal” statement of principles in May and is holding a town hall Thursday night to discuss its plans.
“Our priority this cycle is going after extremist elements within the Republican Party,” said Miles Taylor, a leader of the group. “We’re going to try to run rational against radical.”
