DENVER — Audio of Donald Trump unknowingly making lewd comments ignited a firestorm within the Republican party Saturday.

The newly released tape has led to high-profile supporters severing the already tenuous ties many in the GOP formed with the controversial candidate.

Despite calls for him to step down, Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to “never” drop out of the presidential race.

Trump’s defiance came as his own running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said he was “offended” by Trump’s remarks and canceled plans to represent him at a political event on Saturday.

Colorado republicans have started pulling their support from Trump with Sen. Cory Gardner and Rep. Mike Coffman both calling for Trump to step down as the GOP nominee.

Colorado republican candidate for U.S. Senate Darryl Glenn has also called for Trump to step aside.

Here is a list of other republicans distancing themselves from the GOP nominee.

• Carly Fiorina, Former candidate for G.O.P. nomination – was first of former rivals to call for Trump to step down.
• Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire: Retracting her pledge to vote for Mr. Trump.
