Huckabee tells Brian Kilmeade Trump should let GOP focus on defeating Democrats in midterms
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said on Monday that former President Trump should “absolutely” not announce his 2024 presidential bid until after the midterms.
“I think it would be a huge disaster and mistake if he were to announce this before the midterms. Because right now the focus needs to be solely and completely on getting Democrats out of control of the House and Senate and setting up for a much better situation going into 2024,” Huckabee told “The Brian Kilmeade Show.”
Top-level members of the Republican Party have encouraged Trump to delay announcing his candidacy until after the midterms. Many read that as Republicans fearing that a Trump announcement would upset the status quo of voters focused on inflation, gas prices and President Joe Biden’s low approval rating.
