As former President Donald Trump gears up for a third White House bid, Republicans on Capitol Hill are split on whether to back the former president for another term or to seek other options.
While several of Trump’s most loyal supporters have already endorsed the former president as the GOP nominee, others have remained quiet — either insisting it’s too early to endorse a candidate or avoiding the question altogether. Others have taken the step to look beyond Trump, sniffing out candidates who could serve as an alternative option.
Other Republicans have expressed concerns his announcement could hurt GOP chances in races that have yet to be called, such as the Senate race in Georgia between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker that has advanced to a Dec. 6 runoff. “What’s nice is that the Republicans actually have a bench for once,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis told the outlet.“You guys are crazy,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters asking about whether he'd endorse Trump earlier this week.
