Scaramucci breaks with Trump, no longer backs president’s re-election bid

Anthony Scaramucci, who served a record 11 days as the White House communications director, is now calling for President Donald Trump's tenure to be limited to four years.
"He goes after individuals as the president of the United States on his Twitter account, which incites hate, which incites death threats," Scaramucci said of the president on CNN's New Day. "At some point the people in my party will have to look at all this stuff and stop being anesthetized to it and say 'hey, what are we doing?'"
Previously a Trump loyalist, Scaramucci has recently been critical of the president's controversial tweets attacking Democratic lawmakers and called Trump's visit to an El Paso, Texas, hospital in the wake of a mass shooting "a catastrophe."
Over the weekend, Axios reported that Scaramucci escalated his criticism by saying Republicans may need to find another candidate to top the ticket in 2020.
"Sound and reasonably minded men and women in the Republican party will say wait a minute, we can't do this. He is giving people a license to hate," Scaramucci said on CNN.
While Scaramucci said he didn't support Trump's reelection and called on Republicans to consider changing the ticket, he has yet to publicly name any potential replacements.
