“Key players in GOP’s anti-Trump movement are preparing to launch an independent presidential campaign for Evan McMullin — a CIA veteran and the chief policy director of the House Republican conference,” sources close to the effort told BuzzFeed News.
“McMullin has virtually no public profile. He doesn’t appear regularly on television, and has just 135 followers on Twitter. His most high-profile recent appearance seems to have been a TEDx talk about genocide he gave at London Business School in April.”
McMullin will file today and in a statement tells ABC News: “In a year where Americans have lost faith in the candidates of both major parties, it’s time for a generation of new leadership to step up.”
