Several hundred former aides to President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain announced Thursday that they are endorsing Joe Biden for president.

The statements of support for the Democratic nominee come as President Donald Trump prepares to accept his party's nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention.

A political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, that launched last month posted a list of nearly 300 members of the Bush administration or campaigns who are publicly backing Biden. The names range from members of the Cabinet, including former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and former Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, to ambassadors, to White House and advance staffers.

Meanwhile, more than 100 former staff of McCain's congressional offices and campaigns also endorsed Biden for president.

“Given the incumbent president’s lack of competent leadership, his efforts to aggravate rather than bridge divisions among Americans, and his failure to uphold American values, we believe the election of former Vice President Biden is clearly in the national interest,” they said in a letter.

Some of McCain’s former aides who signed the letter include Mark Salter, the senator's onetime chief of staff; Christian Ferry, who was deputy manager for McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign; Joe Donoghue, who was McCain's legislative director; and Mike Murphy, a GOP political consultant who was a strategist on McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign.

These Republicrats are the problem with the RNC. They have seized control of the party and push the notion that we must govern from the middle. Screw them and their ideas. Time for the silent majority to retake control of their party and send these RINOs back to the DNC where they came from. Our party is infiltrated with traitors. Time to kick them out. Especially the turd known as Mitt Romney

The RNC leadership is compromised. Filled with Republicrat traitors that align with the beliefs such as Romney, Jeb, and the McCainiacs of the world. Time to retake the party.

I was a senate staffer. Most names on the list I do not recognize. It is fake news.
