Although many are focusing on the midterm elections this year, some also have their eye on 2024 and the candidates who could put their hat in the presidential election in two years.
During an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Fox News host Geraldo Rivera was asked about former President Donald Trump getting into the race and whether or not he can win in 2024.
Rivera sees Trump winning because losing in 2020 was a shot to his ego. Furthermore, the host adds that he holds a grudge against the Democratic Party for defeating him.
“I think President Trump really wants to be President again. I’ve known him since 1976. I’ve never seen him shirk from a challenge. I believe that he’s really hurt by the results, the legitimate results of the November 2020 election.”
“He’s egotistical. He wants to be back in the White House. It’s not that he’s deprived of helicopters or huge jumbo private jets. It’s just his ego has been rattled and it’s a grudge. It’s a grudge now with the Democratic Party. He wants to be back in the White House to evict them.”
However, Rivera states that it’s not a slam dunk that he will win the presidential election. Trump could even lose out on the Republican nomination if a certain governor decides to opt into the race.
“Now will he win? I don’t know. He’d have some real hurdles to clear, not the least of which is that he’s lost voters like me in the middle, who supported him pretty strongly until he decided not to abide by the Constitution of the United States. So he has that hurdle.”
“But the Republicans have enforced amnesia. They’ve decided that not to remember January 6. So the rest of it. So I think that he may. Unless Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor who’s gaining momentum here, decides to make a go of it and Trump lives in Florida, I’m not sure how that dynamic works.”
