Trump once again stirs rumors that he could run as a third-party candidate and split the Republican

let the games begin!!!



In a move likely to cause some in the Republican Party heart palpitations, former President Donald Trump shared an article on Thursday that said he could run as a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

It is a move that would split the Republican Party vote and likely doom the party's 2024 ambitions.

In a posting on his Truth Social site, Trump shared an article from the pro-Trump website American Greatness saying the former president could leave the GOP to punish it for its disloyalty.

Writer Dan Gelernter said that Trump is still "admired and even loved by those who consider themselves 'ordinary' Americans," particularly those who reside "anywhere outside the Beltway."

or another Trump-supporting candidate might be the one thing beyond "DOBBS" that will wake up and motivate the electorate--in our favor.

to get him on the ballot in all 50 states as a third-party candidate, but I heartily encourage him to try.
