Donald Trump 2024 White House bid torn apart by Paul Ryan

Former House of Representatives speaker Paul Ryan has insisted that Donald Trump shouldn’t be the Republican Party nominee for the next US Presidential election in 2024. Speaking to Fox Business Mr Ryan who represented Wisconsin for the Republicans from 1999 and 2019 said that the “new swing voter” in American politics were suburban voters.The 2012 Vice Presidential nominee added that the New York born property mogul was a turn off and potentially a vote loser because of his lack of appeal to suburbia.He said: “That new swing voter in American politics is the suburban voter, and it’s really clear the suburban voter doesn’t like Trump, but they like Republicans.’So I think anybody not named Trump, I think is so much more likely to win the White House for us.”However, in the 2016 Presidential election Mr Trump beat Hillary Clinton 50 percent to 45 percent among suburban voters, according to exit polls.

The suburban voter doesn’t like Trump. We haven’t lost this much this fast than we have with Trump. We lost the House, the Senate & the WH in a span of two years. I don’t want to repeat that.’ pic.twitter.com/kjefVIBmib- Ron Filipkowski ������������ (@RonFilipkowski) October 25, 2022 ‘He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.’However, despite Mr Ryan’s criticisms, Mr Trump has remained the dominate figure within the Republican Party in a way that no politician has since Ronald Regan.Arguably during the 2022 mid term primary season Mr Trump has strengthened his grip over the Republican Party with many of the candidates he backed winning key contests for senate and governor.Mr Ryan’s comments come as the former President appears to be making plans to launch another bid for the White House.DON’T MISS: Biden admits fears over his health are ‘legitimate’ [REVEAL] Trump’s ex strategist Steve Bannon rants at Biden after being jailed [INSIGHT] Farage warns Trump supporter ‘fixed election’ claims harms Republicans [SPOTLIGHT] As Gabby Orr from CNN reported on Tuesday Mr Trump appears to be ‘accelerating his plans for another presidential campaign”.This has included thinking about where the 2024 campaign will be based with Florida where Mr Trump is now based or Washington DC being the two main options possibilities.Mr Trump has also regularly blasted Mr Ryan arguing in a statement last year: ‘As a Republican, having Paul Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss, for both you, the Party, and America itself.’It appears that the race for the 2024 Republican nomination will depend on wither Mr Trump decides to enter the race himself.Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Texas Senator Ted Cruz are all seen as potential candidates but their plans could change if the former President enters the race.
