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.

“McConnell: Donald will face ‘crowded’ GOP field if he runs for president “
riiight, mitch ... President Donald J. Trump vs. a gaggle of germ-sized Lilliputians ... actually, almost no one with any credibility or financial backing will run once Trump announces ... i doubt if there will even be any “official” GOP primary debates ...
Crowded field? What difference does to make when everybody running is less that 10% and Trump is at 90%?
“Wasn’t the field ‘crowded’ last time he ran?”
Yes. I actually laughed when I read the title.

DeSantis and Abbott would be serious opposition.
Both are a lot like Trump but without the baggage.
Trump will be 78 if he runs again.
The competition was so tough last time 🤪
Please clap
A crowded field is OK as long as there are no power hitters like Yeb!
They aren't going to run.
There was quite a crowd of candidates on stage in the 2016 Pubbie debates. Seems to me Trump beat them all.
He would be well advised to not turn his back to you. Correct, Post Turtle?
Same play book as always. Flood the field.
Yes it was. I hate to tell Mitch, but his party is toast if he thinks people will vote for a RINO elitist.
The eight or so Lilliputians better bring a rope to tie Trump down or they will be squashed!
2016
Don White and the seven(teen) dwarfs?
That’s good.
Unlike the first time where had to pick them all off.
Trump can be presidential and provide a vision without a lot of mean tweets.
The contenders can knock each other out.
Plus that get’s the Republican agendas a lot more air time.
Wishful thinking by McConnell.
Mitch MCconnell.
The Judas who backstabbed and badmouthed the Prez AFTER he was out of office but when he was in office, he couldnt say sh&t to his face. He knows he now has to ask his NWO deep state buddies once again to really cheat the elections in 2 years..
Jeb would be the best entertainment value. The worst President, but the best for comedy.
