Following bitterly disappointing midterm election results, the Republican party faced more internal divisions Tuesday about who should lead it into the 2024 presidential election and on Capitol Hill for the next two years.
At a Tuesday meeting of the Republican Governors Association, attendees in Orlando, Fla., applauded loudly when former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ridiculed former President Trump and said he should not be the GOP nominee for president in 2024,. Those pointed comments came hours ahead of Trump's expected announcement at his Mar-a-Lago home and country club that he would seek the presidency for a third time.
As DeSantis took a victory lap, Republican megadonors on Tuesday also voiced their displeasure with Trump. Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, a DeSantis supporter, called Trump a “three-time loser” and said “DeSantis is going to run.”Griffin told the Bloomberg News Economy Forum “I’d like to think the Republican party is ready to move on from somebody who has been, for this party, a three-time loser,” Griffin added.
Several other Republican governors in Orlando also expressed opposition to another Trump candidacy, and to his expected announcement later in the day.
