Kentucky Republicans Want Trump on the Ballot in 2024
GOP state leaders formally call for Trump to run for president again
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky’s Republican Party leaders on Saturday formally called on former President Donald Trump to run for president again in 2024, becoming the first state GOP to do so.
The Kentucky Republican Party’s state central committee voted unanimously to adopt a resolution urging Trump to seek the presidency again.
The resolution said Trump “has proven to be the most effective leader of our nation in modern history” and that he “embodies the values and principles that have made America great.”
Trump has not yet announced whether he will run for president in 2024, but he has repeatedly hinted that he is considering it.
In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump said he was “very seriously” considering running for president again.
“I think a lot of people will be very happy, frankly, with the decision, and probably will announce that decision in the not-too-distant future,” Trump said.
If Trump does run for president again, he is likely to face a crowded field of Republican challengers.
Several other Republicans have already announced their intention to run for president in 2024, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will be able to win the Republican nomination again. He lost the popular vote in both the 2016 and 2020 elections, and he is currently facing several legal challenges.
However, Trump remains popular among many Republican voters.
A recent poll by the Pew Research Center found that 64% of Republicans said they would support Trump if he ran for president again.
The Kentucky Republican Party’s resolution is a sign that Trump still has strong support among Republican leaders in the state.
If Trump does decide to run for president again, he will likely face a tough challenge from other Republicans who are also seeking the nomination.
However, Trump’s popularity among Republican voters could give him an advantage in the race.
Conclusion
The Kentucky Republican Party’s resolution is a sign that Trump still has strong support among Republican leaders in the state.
If Trump does decide to run for president again, he will likely face a tough challenge from other Republicans who are also seeking the nomination.
