Anti-Trump Republicans Finally Come Up With Third-Party Challenger

 
By Igor Bobic

Republicans opposed to Donald Trump’s candidacy have for months been searching for a third-party conservative alternative come November. With fewer than 100 days until Election Day, they finally delivered.

Evan McMullin, 40, is expected to file as an independent candidate for president Monday, telling ABC News in a statement that “it’s never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us.”

His candidacy was first reported by BuzzFeed News.

McMullin is a former CIA agent and former chief policy director of the House Republican conference. His resume includes stints at Goldman Sachs and the United Nations. He was educated at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania ― a distinction he shares with Trump ― and Brigham Young University. He has never held elected office, and is largely unknown in political circles.
