Trump’s 2024 Flirtations Squeeze GOP Midterm Strategy

“Donald Trump’s flirtations with launching a third presidential run during the Jan. 6 select committee’s probe might as well be a grenade inside the GOP’s midterm strategy. And Republicans aren’t sure how to defuse it,” Politico reports.

“Party leaders want Trump to hold off on any campaign announcement at least until after November’s midterms so the GOP can make the 2022 elections a clean referendum on President Joe Biden. They see a clear road map toward netting the handful of House and Senate seats they need to flip Congress, with a twice-impeached former president still under investigation possibly blocking their path.”
