An increasing number of centrist Republicans are warning that former President Trump shouldn’t run for office again in 2024 saying if he wins it will cause divisions within the party.
From THE HILL:
Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and former Vice President Mike Pence in recent days each indicated they’d rather see someone else on the ballot in the next presidential election. Some of the most outspoken figures — like Ryan, Bush and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) — are no longer standard-bearers in the party, which has been taken over by Trump. But they still carry large megaphones, and their concerns about another Trump candidacy, combined with polls showing many voters are ready to move on, illustrate how Trump’s viability as a candidate could shape how the 2024 primary field comes into focus. ... Trump remains very popular in the Republican Party, drawing thousands of supporters to rallies in recent weeks for battleground candidates. The former president has not said whether he plans to run again in 2024, though he routinely hints that he has made a decision and regularly teases in speeches that he may have to “do it again.” There are still numerous Trump allies in Congress and elsewhere who would welcome another Trump campaign with open arms, too.
