Artifact Overview

Not all Republicans backed Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Some believed Trump was not a conservative, while others disliked his populist rhetoric. The "Never Trump" movement, consisting mainly of conservative politicians and activists, first sought to deny Trump the Republican Party's nomination, then the presidency. They failed. Trump captured the nomination then went on to beat Hillary Clinton to become President.
