That was the spin. At the time was making these remarks, he wasn’t blaming Capitol Hill Republicans.
I don’t think so. I think his ideas were evolving. You could tell it in his 2022 campaign for the Senate. I’m from Ohio.
He voted for Trump, he says, in 2020, so, that’s an improvement over Evan McMullin in 2016. It’s obvious he was in the middle of reevaluation.
Also, it’s good to remember that he was just 36 in 2020 and will be 40 this August.
So, my guess is that Trump’s help in 2022 gave him insight that changed his thinking even more.
