Michael Ellis Murphy (born June 4, 1962)[2] is a Republican political consultant, entertainment industry writer, and producer.[3] He advised Republicans including John McCain, Jeb Bush, David Dreier, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Spencer Abraham, Christine Whitman, Lamar Alexander, Meg Whitman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.[4][5] Until January 2006, he was an adviser to Republican Mitt Romney.[6] Murphy resigned his position with Romney when his former client John McCain made it clear he would also pursue the Republicans presidential nomination in 2008; Murphy decided to be neutral in the contest between them. Murphy is a vocal Republican critic of President Donald Trump.[7][8][9][10] He endorsed Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.[11]
