GOP senators are skeptical damaged Trump can win in 2024
by Alexander Bolton - 07/30/22 5:50 AM ET

The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that Donald Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House.

One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

“I don’t think he’ll run again and that’s a good thing, because of the whole cascade of events,” the senator said, referring to testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that Trump lunged at a Secret Service agent when he refused to drive him to the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is now cooperating with a Justice Department investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, according to media reports.

A second GOP senator, who requested anonymity, said the overwhelming majority of Republican senators don’t want him to be the party’s nominee for president again.

“I could count on one hand the number of Republican senators who want Donald Trump to be our nominee,” said the lawmaker, adding: “I could count it on one finger.”

The senator said “the cumulative effect” of the Jan. 6 hearings is weighing on Trump’s viability in 2024.

Swamp critters say what?

They didn't want him last time. That was evident by the way they so resolutely backed all his policies. After all, he's bad for their good ol' boy Swamp franchise.

That's odd, for some reason I thought it was up to 'We The People' to decide who we wanted to be our nominee not some self centered and self interest group of swamp dwellers. I guess it's no surprise that like democrats these 'GOP' senators believe that it's they who make all the decisions for us little people because we just don't know what's best for us.

Translation: "RINO Senators terrified Trump will win and out them and their backdoor "cash under the table" deals with the Dims",causing them to lose their next election and their seats on the Gravy Train.

@GtHawk

Well,they CLEARLY know what is best for THEM,which is WHY we need to elect Trump.

These people are elected for the purpose of serving AMERICA,not themselves and their bestest political buttbuddies.

My old expression: "The Senate is filled with 100 people who think they should be the President, and one person who actually could if the President croaks."

I rely on no Senator to tell me about who should be President. The only true answer would be "Me!" but Senators make lousy Presidents because they spent a lifetime compromising their principles.

Only problem with that is that WE the people elect who they tell us we can elect for the most part. If you want examples @sneakypete I'll be happy to provide them.

Likewise, I allow no senator to tell me who I can have for MY senators! I just wish others would join me.

I can count on one hand GOP Senators that are worth a darn.

Unfortunately Mitch does have a hand in who he wants to remain seated and who he will allow in to the country club. His leadership for the GOP is non-existent and his corruption runs deep.

GOP is throwing the midterms hoping they can blame it on Trump.

Trump gets my vote... warts and all... if for no other reason that he seems to be able to piss off so many sheep...

Bigun said (re Mr. Trump):
"He has mine if he wants it as well because he earned it."

Mr. Trump WILL be the Republican nominee in 2024.

Whether he is able to win again or not... too difficult to tell right now. If he does, it will be close... almost "too close for comfort". A near-replay of 2020.

We shall see...

Trump really drives the globalists crazy and when Trump's efforts work they just cannot stand themselves... It's great.

Rand Paul, Marsha Blackburn. I have become disappointed in Lee and so I'm not a fan. Maybe also Lummis in WY.
