OPINION:
Before announcing his candidacy for president in 2024, former President Trump should have headed the words of Kenny Rodgers in “The Gambler”: “You’ve got to know when to hold’ em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away and know when to run.” Yes, under his term in office we had a growing economy, low unemployment and inflation, energy independence and a secure southern boarder.
On Trump’s watch, the Republican Party morphed from Wall Street to Main Street. More working-class Democrats, African-American, Asian and Hispanic voters became comfortable supporting Republican candidates. Give Trump credit for laying the groundwork in fast- tracking development of the COVID-19 vaccines.
On the flip side, while Trump was president Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate. In 2022, too many Trump-endorsed candidates lost the November general election. It is time for a new generation of GOP leadership to take us forward into 2024. There is a deep bench of Republican governors and senators for 2024 Republican Party primary voters to choose from. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is one possibility.
