Kristol Building ‘War Machine’ to Challenge Trump

September 14, 2018 at 5:28 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Bill Kristol, one of President Trump’s most vocal opponents, told CNBC that he is creating a “political war machine” to launch a primary challenge to the commander in chief in 2020.

“He’s engaged with three potential Republican primary candidates who are outspoken critics of the president: Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.”

Said Kristol: “We are thinking of and doing preliminary work to prepare for a primary run against Trump. People aren’t going to say they will run against Trump unless they have the infrastructure but I’ve been trying to persuade people that it may not be that difficult.”
