They join the 70+ former GOP national security advisors who went public last week to support Biden.

And the endorsements of four Republican cabinet secretaries; Obama administration Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, and Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell and EPA Director Christine Whitman, who appeared at the DNC alongside Kasich.

Furthermore, the last living former GOP president, George W. Bush, has said he won’t back Trump. Nor will his brother Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida who was mercilessly ridiculed by Trump when they fought for the GOP nomination in 2016. Trump’s former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and former Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly have both expressed opposition to Trump as well. Other ex-Trump officials have spoken out against him as well, including Homeland Security advisor Tom Bossert, communications staffer Omarosa Manigault, National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security advisor John Bolton.

Some of the GOP lawmakers to support Biden are:

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake
New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey
Virginia Sen. John Warner
Texas Rep. Steve Bartlett
Pennsylvania Rep. Bill Clinger
Missouri Rep. Tom Coleman
Hawaii Rep. Charles Djou
Oklahoma Rep. Mickey Edwards
Maryland Rep. Wayne Gilchrest
Pennsylvania Rep. Jim Greenwood
South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis
Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe
California Rep. Steve Kuykendall
Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood
Iowa Rep. Jim Leach
Maryland Rep. Connie Morella
Mississippi Rep. Mike Parker
New York Rep. Jack Quinn
Rhode Island Rep. Claudine Schneider
Connecticut Rep. Christopher Shays
Vermont Rep. Peter Smith
Texas Rep. Alan Steelman
New York Rep. Jim Walsh
Virginia Rep. Bill Whitehurst
New Jersey Rep. Dick Zimmer

More GOP members plan to support Biden in the future.

Carly Fiorina also went on television today to say that even though she's a staunch Republican - though, not part of the new Trump party - she is voting for Biden, and has urged her followers to do so.

Hillary Clinton said on Monday that Joe Biden should not concede the presidential election “under any circumstances,” an idea she dubbed “a direct threat to our democracy” in 2016.

Clinton told former communications director Jennifer Palmieri that Democrats “have to have a massive legal operation” on Election Day “and I know the Biden campaign is working on that.”

"Fiorina, who reaffirmed her June commitment to vote for Biden during the “Morning Joe” appearance, conceded that the Republican National Convention appeared so far aimed at “painting Joe Biden and the Democrats as scary socialists,” among other dystopian and divisive imagery, saying it was “critically important” that Democrats and newfound allies call out dangers posed to the soul of America, threats to constitutional norms and precedents, and purposeful division of the country’s population “along every conceivable line.”"

I agree.
