Opinions were divided over Donald Trump's third consecutive presidential bid, which was to be expected — but the cheers and jeers did not necessarily fall along party lines.
It’s official: Former President Donald Trump is running to “make America great again” — again — in 2024.
Sure, Democrats including President Joe Biden countered that Trump “failed America” during his single term. There are a number of Republicans and conservatives who share reservations about Trump returning to the Oval Office. And some prominent Republicans, such as Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, were quiet on Twitter during and immediately after Trump’s announcements. In fact, his daughter Ivanka Trump, who served as a special adviser to the former president while he was in office, didn’t attend the big announcement.
And some prominent GOP members were already speaking out against Trump being on the 2024 Republican ticket in the run-up to Tuesday night’s announcement. Conservative George Conway — husband of Trump supporter Kellyanne Conway — responded by tweeting out his latest Washington Post op-ed that said “Trump is out for vengeance,” but predicted, “Trump won’t succeed, as his successive losses of the House, Senate, presidency and last week’s midterm results show. Too many Americans would crawl on broken glass to vote against him, no matter who his general election opponent may be. They have seen enough.
