Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security in the Trump administration who endorsed Joe Biden last week, has started a group of current and former Trump administration officials and other Republican leaders who want to see President Donald Trump defeated in November.

Taylor and Elizabeth Neumann, another former senior DHS official who served in the administration, have started the Republican Political Alliance for Integrity and Reform (REPAIR), which will include people who work or have worked for Trump but want to elect Biden and reform the Republican Party.

So far two current senior administration officials have anonymously signed on to the effort and one of them has preliminary plans to reveal their identity closer to the election and expects to get fired as a result, according to a person familiar with the project who declined to share the names of those two officials. The person also said that the group is preparing another “bombshell” to be revealed as soon as Tuesday but didn’t get into any more detail when pressed.

The group is working to get between 20 and 40 former Republican officials, including people who have served in the Trump administration, to sign on to become part of the group. Taylor stepped down last year.

2. Reach the MAGAts

Go to rural town and cities where they live and rally against Trump!

Support for Trump is like an irrational stock market that climbs a wall of worry, at least in MAGAt Land.

I was sick of those old ladies with the teabags hanging from their noses anyway.

I'm torn between "gutsy!" and, "I'll believe it when I see it."

I believe this because they have been laying the groundwork for this since that very first "Anonymous" op-ed in the NYT.

Two unknowns: Will either or both Dan Coats and Kirstjen Nielsen be part of this group? AND WHAT ABOUT JOHN KELLY?

Three: Who is the "currently working" member?
