Reports: Anti-Trump Republican Evan McMullin to launch independent bid for presidency
This guy is not going to have the scorched earth / salted earth effect the Nevertrump people are hoping for.
But having him on the ballot in several key states will make a lot of Americans feel better.
BuzzFeed also reported McMullin’s independent bid for the White House, similarly citing unnamed sources.
McMullin, who has never held elected office, was an operations officer for the CIA for 11 years from 1999 to 2010, according to his LinkedIn page. He earned an MBA in 2011 from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the alma mater of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. He has also worked at Goldman Sachs, as a volunteer refugee resettlement officer for the United Nations and as a deckhand on a commercial fishing boat in Alaska.
