Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said Thursday she does not think former President Donald Trump will be the GOP 2024 presidential nominee.
If he were to get the nomination, she did not say whether she would support him.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Capito responded when asked during a virtual press conference if Trump would be the 2024 nominee, adding that 2024 is a long way off and “I can’t even say who I am going to vote for in 2022.”
“I think there’s a lot of good candidates out there,” she said of the field of possible Republican presidential nominees for 2024, and Trump may evaluate which role he can play that yields the most influence.
“I think President Trump may find out where his influence can be greater, outside office than in office,” she said.
But Capito also added a caveat to that statement.
“I think it’s harder to predict him in general than most people,” she said.
Trump has been sending signals he will seek the nomination, including a recent trip to Iowa.

Good three word Establishment name like Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Christie Todd Whitman - CHECK
Got positions in elective office because of who her father was like Lisa Murkowski and Liz Cheney - CHECK
Weak in the knees when it comes to conservatism - INEVITABLE (see above qualifications)
Murky Murkowski got in office because of her father?
I think it will be Pompeo/DeSantis.
Maybe she and Manchin can trade places. She can become a Democrat and Manchin become a Republican.
Yes. Frank Murkowski was elected to the Senate in the 1980 Reagan landslide.
In 2002 he decided to run for governor. He was elected in November, sworn in in December, then filled his own vacant Senate seat with his daughter.
Frank Murkowski was then defeated in the 2006 primary by Sarah Palin.
I predict a lot of deep thinkers will stampede out on this one. As if it is a common thing for a candidate to gather 50,000 people out to a rally and it is very obvious who the democrats regard their main fear is.
I think the only one who could possibly draw a crowd and enthusiasm close to trump is his son don jr. Of coarse his father would be his shadow making it solid
Switch the names around and I’m good with that - if PDJT doesn’t run.
They can’t state the policies they disagree with because that would implicate them in the great China payoff.
Possibly Capito knows the votes are now forever rigged and that Pres. Trump will not run again if that is the case. Pompeo was CIA…..
So I'm looking forward to DeSantis/?? in2032.
There's a reason Pompeo is quiet.

Good three word Establishment name like Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Christie Todd Whitman - CHECK”
And same first, middle, and last initials as Susan Margaret Collins - CHECK.
Admit it. We needed her to run when the seat came open. Just like we needed Thune to run against Daschle and Scott(Fl.) to go against Nelson. If there’s someone better that person has to step up-won’t happen. In the meantime quit whining.
A +
“In the meantime quit whining”
Not whining, just wishing.
In the meantime quit sniping.
Wishing for a better candidate to STEP UP and challenge her. You can head the Department of Wishful Thinking.
“You can head the Department of Wishful Thinking.”
And you can head the Department of Denial.
You are funny. I like you.
