As the general election shifts into high gear, a pair of Republican
governors and a 15-term representative this week voiced their frustrations
with the party's presumptive presidential nominee and have decided they
cannot get onboard the Trump train.

This pushback comes as the presumptive Republican nominee marks the one-year
anniversary of the start of his remarkable and unconventional candidacy,
and as the GOP is at yet another crossroads as to how to maintain party
unity with him at the top of the ticket. Meanwhile, presumptive Democratic
nominee Hillary Clinton is launching an eight-figure, multi-battleground
state campaign ad blitz.
On Thursday The Detroit News reported that Upton had said he was going to "
stay in my lane," adding that neither Trump nor Clinton should expect his
support.
" 'There's a lot of things that folks are not happy about with either of
these two candidates,' he said. 'We're running our own race, and don't look
for me to endorse anyone in this race probably the rest of the year.'
"Upton, who has served in Congress since 1987, joins other Michigan GOP U.S.
Reps. Justin Amash of Cascade Falls, Bill Huizenga of Zeeland and John
Moolenaar of Midland in not endorsing Trump."
