![]() ![]() And so yes, he absolutely is, but the best way to be done with Donald Trump once and for all is to beat him in a primary.ĬHANG: Will Hurd makes the case for his own policies in a longer conversation on the NPR Politics Podcast, which is available now. ![]() And he changed the geopolitical - global supply chains when it came to industries like sorghum in the United States. They also know that some of his trade policies were terrible, the fact that, you know, he upended agriculture in the United States so bad that the government had to bail out, you know, a bunch of farmers because of terrible trade policies. They also know how terrible Donald Trump was when it came to our alliances around the world. So our adversaries are super excited about this. They're laughing that Donald Trump had to get a $225 million loan because his businesses were failing, and he needed to do this in order for him to run for office, right? They're laughing that Donald Trump has tons of baggage. They're laughing that we're having to potentially have another indictment. Right? And guess who loves all this drama? Guess who loves all this back-and-forth? Our adversaries. Donald Trump is a threat to national security, period, full stop. Do you think Donald Trump himself is a threat to U.S. And just that - this - that conversation with Brad Raffensperger was - would have been enough for me to vote.ĭAVIS: Let me put a finer point on it. So to me, that meets the requirement of a violation of the law. You know, the fact that everybody in Fox News knew that Donald Trump lost, and people knew that. With - I forget the name of the - I'm drawing a blank on the company. And then when you look at some of the evidence the January 6 committee produced about Donald Trump, knowing that this election - that he lost the election, when you look at the data and some of the information that came out of the Fox News court case. Asking the Georgia secretary of state to knowingly violate the law. HURD: Yes, because the very specific thing of the phone call to the Georgia secretary of state.

You left Congress before the second impeachment happened. SUSAN DAVIS, BYLINE: When you were in Congress, you broke with the party a lot.ĭAVIS: But you did not on the issue of Trump's first impeachment. And then you can bifurcate that electorate even smaller. But when you really look at who that Republican primary electorate is, at mass, there's more people that dislike Donald Trump than like Donald Trump. And so, yes, I'm running in a Republican primary. Being a clone of - being a crappy clone when the real thing is in, you're not going to get movement.Īnd so there is a lot of voters out there where it's a jump ball, that if we put forward the right candidate, the GOP in 2024 can have crazy victories up and down the ballot if we had the right candidate. That's why I think it's crazy that some of my opponents in this race are kissing his butt because, guess what? You're not going to get his supporters. But there's more people that dislike him. Trump has a group of voters that are not going to leave him, period, full stop. We've learned that since going back to 2016. The national polls is a snapshot in time. WILL HURD: When you start drilling down state by state, the actual numbers of Donald Trump support is not as overwhelming as some of these national polls.
