Trump will be 'hard to stop' in 2024, says GOP lawmaker who backed impeachment 'They're loyal as can be,' RepFredUpton said of the Republican base's view on the former president
Former President Donald Trump"will be hard to stop" if he seeks the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, says a retiring Republican congressman who voted in favor of impeachment after the Capitol riot.
"I have said from the beginning, I think that Donald Trump is going to be a candidate in '24. The voters still like him a lot," Upton said on State of the Union."We see that certainly in Michigan. He's had a number of decisive wins where he's endorsed candidates [who] have won. He's had a few losses as well, but he certainly entertains a majority of the Republican base and will be hard to stop.
Upton was one of 10 House Republicans who found Trump culpable for the Jan. 6 ransacking of the Capitol in the second impeachment case made against the former president. However, as it went the first time, Trump was acquitted by the GOP-led Senate. Upton announced his retirement after decades in Congress in April while contending with the prospect of a Trump-backed rival.
"You got to remember, too, though there were only 10 of us that voted to impeach, there were 35 of us that voted for a bipartisan commission to look at this," Upton said, referring to the fallout after Jan. 6."And we know that there were a lot of folks who were, frankly, scared of their reelection, which is why they voted the other way as well. So our group is actually a little bit stronger than what the numbers showed.
