Joining the list of Republicans who do not back their party’s nominee, the Harvard Republican Club announced they will not be supporting Donald Trump. The oldest college Republican organization in the U.S. described Trump as a “threat to the survival of the Republic” and requested Republican Party leaders to also withdraw support of the candidate.

From the Harvard Crimson:

In the scathing statement, the largest conservative group at Harvard cited “both policy and temperamental concerns” about Trump and condemned his divisive campaign rhetoric they say “is poisoning our country and our children.”

“His authoritarian tendencies and flirtations with fascism are unparalleled in the history of our democracy,” the Republican Club said in a statement. “He hopes to divide us by race, by class, and by religion, instilling enough fear and anxiety to propel himself to the White House.”

While the club is officially against Trump, they will still help facilitate efforts for members who are interested in campaigning for the nominee. Of the members polled, 80 percent of the Harvard Republicans said they would not support Trump, 10 percent did support him, and another 10 percent remained undecided. In a poll that surveyed the entireHarvard class of 2016 (Republicans are a minority), only four percent indicated they’d be supporting Trump. Approximately 87 percent said they’d vote for Clinton, and nine percent were undecided.
