Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says former President Trump will face a lot of competition in a Republican primary if he runs for president in 2024.

McConnell, who usually avoids commenting on the former president, predicted that the 2024 Republican primary won’t be a cakewalk for Trump if he runs again.

“I think we’re going to have a crowded field for president. I assume most of that will unfold later and people will be picking their candidates in a crowded primary field,” he told reporters when asked whether he would oppose Trump or stay neutral in the 2024 Senate Republican primary.

The relationship between Trump and McConnell has been strained since McConnell recognized that Joe Biden was elected president by a vote of the Electoral College in December 2020.

Trump routinely attacks McConnell, often using the nickname “Old Crow” and disparaging his leadership of the Senate Republican Conference.

Excellent...more to expose and ridicule.

[alternatives?]

The only worry is Democrat crossovers. However, they don’t have a clear front runner so they need to vote but, even if they did, many of them think they can beat Trump. (They can if they cheat).

Wrong. Go frick your lesbian lover loser.

Sod Off, Swampy, as the old saying goes.

We will not get new leadership until we replace all of Mitch’s bitches:
Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis are all Bush League Republicans.

18 people besides him.

This is what is driving the idiots on the forum to push DeSantis
even though he’s not running.

They hate Trump with a passion known only to lunatics and
other fine upstanding citizens.

[Reno89519]

Well I think that’s BS, but I do think that we should hope that McConnell is nowhere around to be involved or interfere.

[LibsRJerks]

HA ...as if ....Trump even cares.

[catnipman]

“True leader of the (conservative) Republican voters is more accurate”

agreed ...

[MagaMatt]

LOL. Keep dreaming.

“DeSantis and Abbott would be serious opposition.”

Obviously, you’ve OD’ed on super vax chemicals. Abbott? You mean the Abbott who has done NOTHING during his tenure to stave off the invasion from the south? THAT Abbott? We don’t need a President who’s in bed with the cartels, ThankYouVeryMuch.

[ronnie raygun]

He’s hoping.

He has ordered Texas law enforcement to return any illegals to the border. He has sent over a hundred busloads of illegals to DC. He has been spending Texas funds to complete the boarder wall.

[MayflowerMadam]

Yes. He has done all of those things — within the last three or four months. A lot of razzle-dazzle before a dicey election season. What effective measures had he taken before that?

[mewzilla]

Of course he will.

While Deep State doesn't have a deep bench, it does have a YUGE collection of dunce chairs.

Thanks for admitting he has done more than ‘nothing’ as you originally claimed. BTW, name another possible candidate besides Trump who has done more?

[sit-rep]

maybe the first week or 2... but in no time all those will drop off like flies when the poll numbers quickly show them with like 2% of the likely voters vote for the candidate!!

[rbmillerjr]

The stiff competition will be:

Dork Larry Hogan

Fake Republican from Utah (great name recognition)

Fake Cheney Republican

Tough field. Low Energy Jeb won’t get to start line.

McConnell should be worrying more about his gal pal Chao looking elsewhere.

[GOPJ]

Unlike the first time he ran when he was practically alone in the primary race. He’s never had to deal with a crowded field before; what will he ever do? Horrors!

Not only did Trump run against something like 15 opponents, he also ran against the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, and the corrupt press.

AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME TRUMP HAD RUN FOR ANY POLITICAL OFFICE.
