While each category would be small, I can think of two:
-A Republican-leaning voter (who likely does not pay a lot of attention to politics) who typically votes Republican down-ballot due to their Republican leanings but is willing to vote Democrat in more high profile races (e.g. Governor or Senate races). Kentucky did this just last night by electing a Democratic governor, but sending Republicans to all other offices. Similarly, MA voters have voted for many Republican Governors, but rarely vote for Republicans for other statewide positions.
-A Republican who used to vote party line for most (if not all) races, but has been turned off by Trump and wanted to send a message by not sending a Trump-backed Republican to office (remember, Hurst was on the ballot for AG in 2015, before Trump was President).
