Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld said he planned to challenge President Trump for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination, Reuters reports.
Said Weld: “In these times of great political strife, when both major parties are entrenched in their ‘win at all cost’ battles, the voices of the American people are being ignored and our nation is suffering. It is time for patriotic men and women across our great nation to stand and plant a flag.”
