Once Donald Trump no longer had any intraparty rivals for the 2024 nomination, a variety of the former president’s Republican skeptics did exactly what they were expected to do: They fell in line out of a sense of party loyalty. To be sure, GOP officials such as New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Whip John Thune, and Georgia Gov.
I’m reminded of this Washington Post report from the fall: It’s been a challenge to keep up with just how many former top officials from Trump’s team have either denounced him, announced they won’t support his 2024 candidacy, or both. Pence, Trump’s right-hand man for four years, should probably be seen at the top of this list, but what’s striking is the fact that such a list even exists.
