Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has withdrawn her endorsement of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump does not represent me or my party. I understand the responsibility of Republicans to support their nominee. Our nominee has weighty responsibilities as well. Donald Trump has manifestly failed in these responsibilities,” said Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, in a prepared statement. “I have traveled the country for years warning Americans that Hillary Clinton is unfit to be President. We must have a conservative in the White House to restore accountability, opportunity and security. For the sake of our Constitution and the rule of law, we must defeat Hillary Clinton.”
Fiorina continued: “Today I ask Donald Trump to step aside and for the RNC to replace him with Gov. Mike Pence.”
Fiorina, after dropping out of the GOP primary, briefly endorsed Texas senator Ted Cruz and was tapped to serve as Cruz’s running mate if he had won the Republican nomination.
