Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld told an audience in New Hampshire Friday that he will try to take on President Trump in the 2020 Republican presidential primary, offering the first high-profile challenge to the president’s reelection effort.
Weld, 73, said he would seek to determine over the coming months if he can raise enough money to continue his challenge of the president. He said he would run on a traditional Republican agenda of fiscal responsibility and provide a stylistic contrast to Trump.
“It is time for all people of good will — and our country is filled with people of good will — to take a stand and plant a flag,” Weld said during a speech Friday at a Politics & Eggs breakfast in Bedford, N.H.

Nice of Bill Weld to bring laughter and joy to the White House and finally give the President something to laugh about. Very few people have gone to such lengths just to brighten the President’s day.
Thanks for the video. What a drama queen! I noticed he had to have a “swim-buddy” jump in with him to ensure he didn’t drown in 3 feet of water.
If Weld runs, the media will be forced to cover the GOP debates which gives Trump free time to beat up on a RINO like the rented mule Weld is.
I guess former Connecticut Governor and Senator Lowell P. Wiecker (or Wackjob) is busy...
Yeah jumping in with him was ex-state senator Robert A. Durand (D), obviously a lemming.
Who?
Just kidding.
AND.....Trump still hasn’t lost a vote and won’t lose one single vote to this turd.
Trump shouldn’t give a second’s worth of his time to accommodate a challenger.
Batter Up!
*nock*
Oooooohhhh...and he’s out!
He must be out of money, going to fleece the suckers of as much “campaign” cash as he can.
Really? Bill Crystal our you up to the humiliation you are about to live through?
GOPe and the globalists just can’t accept reality
Bill Weld... Bill WELD challenge Trump ...that’s a laugh; the guy’s a D R U N K!
I hadn't thought of that. I'm in for $5.
What’s Bill Weld’s email?, I would like to give him a big FU.
