An RNC remade by Trump backs away from his 2024 campaign.
As former President Donald Trump prepares for his first public events since announcing his presidential campaign, dozens of members of the Republican Party’s governing body are expressing doubts about his ability to win back the White House and are calling for a competitive primary to produce a stronger nominee in 2024.
The motivation to leave Trump behind is not ideological but political, the party leaders said: They worry he can’t win. “Did I vote for Trump in 2016? You bet. Did I vote for him in 2020? You bet,” said Hank McCann, who joined the RNC from Delaware in 2020. “Now, I don’t know. I think we’ve got probably 10 candidates that can win.”
Trump’s polarized political standing and effort to return to the White House have plunged the party into a deeply unpredictable landscape, a situation unlike any since 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt’s attempt to recapture the presidency split the Republican Party four years after he left office. “I supported Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, but it is clearly time for the Republican Party to move on from Donald Trump,” Oscar Brock, an RNC member from Tennessee, wrote last week in a mass email to other members that was first reported by The Washington Post. “I know many of you feel the same way I do.”
“President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party and anyone who questions that is simply living in a false reality,” said Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesperson. “President Trump leads in the polls by wide margins and there is no other person who can generate the type of excitement and enthusiasm as he can.”
“He needs to come back and finish what he started,” said Fanchon Blythe, an RNC member from Nebraska who helped lead a Trumpian takeover of the Nebraska GOP last summer. “DeSantis, stay in your own lane. Stay in Florida. Come back in 2028 if you want to run for president.”
