Ron jumped the gun. There was no reason to run in 2024. 2028 is wide open and had he played his cards right he could have been a the front-runner for that contest. Instead he used very poor judgement and is now damaged goods.
After 2022, when Trump's hand-picked candidates in the crucial swing states that he needed to flip were soundly clobbered, there was an absolute reason to run.
Had these candidates persevered, it's likely everyone would've stepped aside.
But they didn't. They were nearly all defeated.
Now, the Democrats understand perfectly that all of these well-timed indictments work to rally Trump's base, better ensuring him the nomination. This is because Trump is the man they wants to run against.
The Democrats all believe 2024 will be a repeat of 2020. Trump supporters believe it will be a repeat of 2016. Unfortunately, seeing how Trump has been on an unbroken losing streak since 2018, I'm inclined to believe the Democrats will be the ones savoring victory.
