Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 2015, i tautoko a Humphrey i te kawana o Ohio a John Kasich mo te Perehitini i te tau 2016. I te wā o te pōti perehitini a te Rōpū Reipa i te tau 2016, ko Humphrey te kaiārahi o ngā mahi ki te whakamātau ki te aukati i a Donald Trump i te whakaingoatanga i te pōti perehitini.
Te Huihuinga ā-Motu o te Rōpū Reipa. I kii ia, "Ka pooti noa ahau mo Hillary [e pa ana ki a Hillary Clinton, te kaitono a te Manapori] mena ka tino tata te whakataetae. I tēnei wā, e tūmanako ana ahau ka whakaatu te kaiārahi o te Rōpū Reipa, i te wā roa, i te wā roa, i te maia me te kaupapa ki te whakahē i a Trump, me te tono kia whakarerea e ia te whakaingoatanga, kia tū anō rānei te hui". I te Noema 6, 2016, e rua nga ra i mua o te pooti, i tautoko a Humphrey i a Clinton. I taua marama ano, ka wehe a Humphrey i te Rōpū Reipa ka noho motuhake.
