Former President Trump in an interview released Monday said that the Republican Party has a pretty deep bench if he decides not to seek a return to the White House in 2024.
I'll make that decision sometime later, but there's a pretty deep bench, Trump told the podcast The Truth with Lisa Boothe."
The former president said the Republican Party is stacked with very good people heading into upcoming elections. He specifically named Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) and his former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is running for governor in Arkansas.
When asked who would be the GOP presidential candidate if Trump decides against running, the former president said some of the names, I guess I just mentioned perhaps, adding that there's a pretty deep bench of potential candidates.

(11,495 posts)are total trump ass kissers, and that's what everyone he endorses in 2022, and 2024 will be. His goal so to put "only" the "worst" people he can find, the most loyal to him, in office.
