In election news, Republican Party leaders are facing pressure to withdraw support for Donald Trump from the party’s own donors amid a series of accusations from women that Trump sexually assaulted or harassed them in cases that stretch back decades. The New York Times reports Republican donors David Humphreys, Bruce Kovner, William Oberndorf and others are all calling on the party to abandon its presidential nominee. Kovner, a New York investor who has donated $2.7 million to the Republican Party since 2012, called Trump “a dangerous demagogue completely unsuited to the responsibilities of a United States president.”
