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.

Is our senate leader talking about the out of control inflation? the insane gas prices? shortage of essentials? lawless actions of certain agencies?
Nope! None of the above!
Some people will run just to get money from suckers (Lincoln project ) but there won’t be much a field since Trump is running for re-election
Maybe they’ve fitted ¡Jeb! with some lift shoes, so he won’t have to tippy toe, again.
I understand the sentiment of running independent because the GOP establishment for the most part might as well be democrats. But, it’s one of the few scenarios (outside obvious cheating) that the democrats can win the presidency in 2024.
If Trump does run in 2024 he needs to remain in the GOP, otherwise Trump and the GOP candidate will split votes on the right/middle while the democrat nominee wins the election.
Woohoo! The turtle came out to make a statement.

Nope....he and (most) every other Rs are radio silent on ANY of the warp speed destruction, being caused by this regime.
It’s almost like they’re complicit, or something. 🤔
What was stupid is it was unnecessary. He does seem pretty tall without the dumb stunt.
The Donald is sitting back and challenging them to: “Bring It On!”
After all, he beat 17 Republican Presidential Wannabes in 2016 (actually, there were 23 at the beginning of the contest - six dropped out before the Primaries).
The Donald LOVES this kind of FRee for all!
The republicans are despised and the democrats are despised. The economy will be historically bad. Trump can denounce The GOP on many policies and attract independents and democrats. He can say that he works best with republicans but he has decided that this move is necessary.
What happened to those rumors that he was stepping down early?
The only problem with rats holding the senate are judges. They already put a historic number of judges on the bench more then any other President but Reagan. Another 2 years with the house republican will be a disaster for the judiciary. Yes we Have the Supreme Court but they only take 40 cases a year and already they have agreed to hear three. That’s only around 37 left.
Yep and Desantis is smart enough to know which side the bread is buttered on. He will happily accept Veep and secure two terms as POTUS thereafter.
There are very few of them actually representing us.
The RINO midgets are coming! The RINO midgets are coming!
And more retired RINOs...
Old Crow indeed
So your choice is Liz, eh? Obvious agent provocateur, you are... You work for Liz or Née Randhawa (Nikki for short) (?), you absolute dolt and NWO self righteous sell out ignoramus CCP stooge Chamber of Commerce dumb dumb.
So what? Been there - done that.
Other than possibly DeSantis, a bunch of losers and has beens.
Fine. Let them get their 2% before they drop out.
DC does not work for the people anymore it doesn’t work no more! We need to disassemble it. Those bastards are not for the American people they’re in for the money, power and greed. Not all but the majority of DC POS ...it needs to be disassembled it’s not working anymore.
