Many GOP Senators don't want Trump to announce a 2024 run

It looks like former President Trump is planning to run for a second term. He hasn't come out and said it, but the hinting he throws out there strongly implies that he's a go for 2024. But in spite of his electoral win and therefore his win over the execrable Hillary Clinton, most Senate Republicans hope he chooses not to run. They especially don't want Trump to announce a run before the 2022 midterm elections because they worry that it will destroy their hopes of winning back the Senate.

As much as the nation enjoyed a strong economy, no new wars, a reduction in regulations and taxation, the one thing Donald Trump brings to the table is a boat load of Democrats who will not sit out the next election and will also show up for the midterms in droves. Trump's track record with independent and swing voters is a problem and the GOP Senate knows this.

A few Republican senators who didn't want to be identified, said they don't want Trump being the party's standard bearer.

“I think we’re better off when he’s not part of any story,” a Republican senator revealed, who said his view is widely shared in the GOP conference.

“He’s a clinical narcissist. He threw away the election in the debate with Biden and he threw away the Senate out of spite,” the senator added, referring to the first Trump-Biden debate. Many GOPers saw that debate as a total disaster along with Republican voter turnout in the Georgia special election.

The one thing we know is that a Trump run announcement will get a lot of Democratic asses off the sofas and out to the polling stations.

“The 2022 election ought to be about the Biden administration and its rolling disasters so anything that would detract from the public being focused on what Democratic governance is doing to this country would be ill-advised,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), a Trump ally, when he was asked to comment on a possible Trump announcement in the next year.

You cannot argue with that point. Biden's incompetency should be the main focus and Trump needs to wait until the smoke has cleared before taking center stage.

Some people believe that if Trump ran against Biden, the Left's hatred of the former president would be insurmountable for him to overcome and the Democrats would continue their hard move to the left.

But if Trump does run again, I hope he waits and I hope he wins. I just don't feel confident in either scenario.
