Former Secretary of State MikePompeo takes campaign against realDonaldTrump for a spin as he considers 2024 bid
Pompeo served in the Trump administration all four years, first as the Central Intelligence Agency director, then secretary of state. During his tenure, the Kansas Republican earned the former president’s trust and acquired a reputation for being his most loyal Cabinet official. But as Pompeo mulls a 2024 campaign that would pit him against Trump for the GOP nomination, he is slowly embracing a new role, that of competitor and nemesis.
In these instances, Pompeo did not name-check Trump, nor did he do so in a couple of pointed tweets directed at the former president posted after the Nov. 15 launch of his 2024 presidential bid. But as in the former secretary of state’s choice of words and phrases on Twitter, his premeditated remarks before Republican Jewish Coalition activists and donors — “egos” and “we need not call names” — had an obvious target in mind.Pompeo has had a varied relationship with Trump.
However, in an interview with the Washington Examiner prior to his address to the Republican Jewish Coalition on Friday evening to a packed and attentive convention center ballroom along the Las Vegas Strip, Pompeo downplayed arising political differences with Trump. In doing so, the former secretary of state revealed a prudent retired Army captain who is probing — surveying but not yet comfortable with, or sold on — going to war against Trump.
Speaking of “things that really matter,” Trump has come under fire from top Republicans for focusing on things they say don’t.
