The former president is telling Republicans he “doesn’t want Biden to have a victory” in 2024, said a source familiar with the bipartisan negotiations.
Donald Trump on Wednesday privately pressured Senate Republicans to “kill” a bipartisan deal to secure the U.S. border because he doesn’t want President Joe Biden to chalk up a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to a source familiar with the tenuous negotiations on the package.
Trump directly reached out to several GOP senators on Wednesday to tell them to reject any deal, said this source, who requested anonymity to speak freely. The GOP presidential frontrunner also personally reached out to some Senate Republicans over the weekend, the source told HuffPost.
“Trump wants them to kill it because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory,” said the source. “He told them he will fix the border when he is president… He said he only wants the perfect deal.”
So 5-10 years ago, this would be political suicide and the rhetoric was never this violent and polarized.
I worry where we will be in the next 5-10 years if this trend continues.
We’re going to be fighting Fascism at least until Trump is too old or senile to keep going. He has a death grip on the party, but at least nobody else thus far can take up his mantle.
The bitch of fascism is always in heat. When he croaks it his supporters won’t suddenly turn into rational people, another piece of shit will pick up the torch.
They’ll certainly try, but the movement won’t be the same. They want Trump, not somebody else.
