McConnell: Donald will face ‘crowded’ GOP field if he runs for president

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.

Attention McConnell and never-Trumpers. 2024 will not be President Trump's 1st rodeo. He knows well how to handle competition.

DeSantis and Abbott would be serious opposition.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like both of them, but I can tell the difference between true historic greatness and his derivatives.

Lord God in your infinite wisdom please get Mitch McConnell out of the Senate permanently.

Also make him display the total treasonous fool that he truly is.

The Turtle needs to accept blame for his significant part in causing and continuing to support Inflation.

Considering how much airtime is still devoted to Trump, the Media/democrats/rinos have picked who they want to run against and beat again.

I think we need a crowded field to replace The Turdle.

Mitch should be thinking about competitors for his speakership position.

Trump doesn’t have to have any debates. Most people would be able to name the other fools. That being said. It will force Trump not to play nice with the enemy which benefits him. Being seen attacking the Repukes will benefit him in the general. It’s something I feel that was missed in 2020.

I doubt Trump runs. Then again, I could be wrong. This world is getting very complicated when it comes to politics.

You first, McConnell! Would love to see why you should be POTUS. (How many sides does your mouth have again?)

They are definitely trying to get DeSantis to run so they can all coalesce around Pence. They see that as their way passed Trump. I really hope the Rats hold the Senate.

Trump won’t get over 45% if field is crowded.

Abbott would be well advised to declare Invasion should he want to move forward.

Not sure about Costello...

Easy to have no baggage when you’re not trying to save the Republic.
