Paul Ryan wants to make one thing crystal clear: He is for any Republican not named Donald Trump in 2024.
“That new swing voter in American politics is the suburban voter, and it’s really clear the suburban voter doesn’t like Trump, but they like Republicans,” the former House speaker said during a recent appearance on Fox Business. “So I think anybody not named Trump, I think is so much more likely to win the White House for us.”
Which is blunt!
Ryan’s assessment comes even as Trump appears not only likely to run again, but is making preparations for what a third bid for president would look like.
As CNN’s Gabby Orr reported on Tuesday, Trump appears to be “accelerating his plans for another presidential campaign,” going as far as to weigh where the campaign would be based (Florida and the Washington, DC, area are the two leading options) and who might help lead the effort (longtime GOP operative Chris LaCivita is seen as one possibility).
Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who left office in 2019 amid the hostile takeover of the Republican Party by Trump, has not been shy about offering his skepticism about the former President running again for the White House.
“Whether he runs or not, I don’t really know if it matters,” Ryan said earlier this month. “He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.”

Seems like they pushed the red wave narrative to act disappointed and then bash Trump.
Why do we care what Paul Ryan wants?
The DNC, of course...
Purge Donald Trump and his supporters from the Republican Party in order to purify The Party and you will absolutely dominate in the next election and forever and ever. Amen.
Sure you will Paul.
Y’all have fun now hear
Bless you hearts
Paul Ryan could find many brothers here on FR, now.
Well, we’re going to nominate Trump… so…to hell with Ryan!
Amazing ain’t it!
Is that soy boy still barking?
Has Ryan joined the Lincoln Republicans yet?
Have you noticed the midterm news for Republicans is better now than it was yesterday? This Trump screwed up narrative has been fabricated to a large degree.
Great post!
I think that's what happened.
It seemed kind of fishy that Big Media was pushing the Red Wave scenario.
Paul Ryan AKA Fox News
Judging by the comments on FR, it's working!
He’ll back DeSantis at first then stab him in the back.
Remember when National Review called those shysters “Young Guns’? More like “Squirt Guns”.
