Anti-Trump Republicans lining up for 2024 shadow primary

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.

More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.

Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when “Never Trump” operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.

Those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger expect one of them, if not more, to launch a presidential bid after the 2022 midterms. While all three are nationally known to some degree, their goal would not necessarily be to win the presidency. Above all, they want to hinder Trump’s return to the White House, at least compared with 2020, when his allies cleared the field of any Republican opponents and persuaded some states to cancel primary contests altogether.

“It’s there as an option, but it’s not necessarily because this is all some big plan so I can be in the White House,” Kinzinger told The Associated Press when asked about his timeline for deciding on a presidential run.

ALL these types do is work in the "shadows"

Because they can't be up front with what they support, because then could then only be called democrats.

The reason President Trump resonates with so many people in the country is quite simple.

he’s genuinely pro-America and it shows.

he wants the country to do well and by extension, the people of the country will also do well.

he also plays for Team USA... meaning, in ANY negotiation the American people KNOW he will fight for the best outcome for America.

Personally, i believe ANY federal politician that is not putting America first in ALL negotiations should be run out of office IMMEDIATELY. No waiting 2-6 years to vote them out allowing them to do untold damage to the country. Out immediately.

President Trump is one of the very few that have given me some hope. I’m sure I’m not alone. If ANYTHING happens to him... there will be holy hell to pay.

They should invest in Powerball tickets as they would have a better chance at a jackpot.

Being a Marylander, behind enemy lines, we call Hogan, Gov. Bullshit.

He could have run for Senate and had a decent chance. Instead his TrumpHate will see him humiliated.

Kinzinger and Cheney. LMAO..Trump should not lower himself to debate these complete 1% ers. They are losers.

Amen, sten. Trump 2024! He speaks to us, not at us. We’ve got a lot of housecleaning to do.

They would run as independents. It will get them on the ballot for November.

Every true conservative, America First Republican, and other patriotic Americans should make up a list of these turncoat, self-aggrandizing pukes and do everything possible to force them out of office. These people are in league with the Deep State, the WEF, and Socialists and Communists who control the Democrat Party. THEY ARE OUR ENEMY AND WE SHOULD NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THAT FACT!

Not a word of this can be serious dialog.

Ask any demonRAT what any one of these three fools position would be in 2024 pubbie primary and all you would get is guffaws.

This is just time and space filler because the msm knows that if Trump announces his run in 2024 it will be a walk in the park in the primary.

The general election will be the most closely watched contest in the history of the United States.

How well the pubbies can keep the demonRATs from stealing the election is open for discussion, but the primary is a closed issue.

Nobody supports these pathetic losers. The Corporate media can fluff them as often as it likes but they are all a collective zero in terms of even competing for anything in the Republican primary.

No one in the US can match President Trump; he’s genuinely America FIRST President as he should be. Trump wants the USA and every citizen to do well and be the best you can be. If anyone were to vote for Liz Chaney or any other Trump hater, then they are the village idiot.
