Has this ever happened before in our presidential election history?

Republican operatives are reportedly launching a super PAC to help encourage GOP voters to head for the ballot box in support of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden.

Axios reported Wednesday that Right Side PAC will include former officials from the Trump and George W. Bush administrations.

[Anthony] Scaramucci, who was fired after 10 days in the White House, said he’s “very confident that we can convince a large group of Republican voters that Biden is the right person to vote for if they want to stay true to their principles and to the legacy of the Republican Party."

[...]

The plan is to lay out the former vice president’s record on free trade, states' rights, federal spending and respecting U.S. diplomatic and military alliances, as well as his stance as a devout Catholic, according to Axios.

The GOP operatives will seek to identify disaffected Republicans who could be persuaded to vote for Biden in November, noting that this group never would have formed if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had secured the Democratic nomination.

Fine praise for Biden: He's really a Republican.
The group will reportedly target voters in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina and Florida through digital, mail and telephone outreach. They will also encourage absentee voting, Borges told Axios.
