Republican lawmakers are quickly distancing themselves from their GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, after leaked footage released Friday showed Trump using vulgar and graphic language in 2005 to discuss his sexual advances towards women.

While many Republicans have condemned the remarks, others went a step further. Some called on Trump to step down as their nominee and allow his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, to take the helm. Others have said they can no longer vote for Trump. Here is a list of those members of Congress.

Note: An (*) indicates lawmakers who had said before the leaked comments that they did not support Trump’s candidacy.
