GOP senators who have held off on endorsing Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee are planning to skip the upcoming Republican National Convention, Axios has learned. There are still Trump holdouts in the GOP — and not just Nikki Haley, his rival in the primaries who wasn’t invited to the convention.

Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Todd Young, Mitt Romney, and Rand Paul are all skipping the party’s convention, according to the senators or their offices. Paul — who, unlike the others on the list is not a moderate Republican — endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020 but has held off this time around.
