Former Democratic Party leader Howard Dean said he hopes Donald Trump is the Republican candidate in the 2024 election and argued that the former president’s brand is “in bad shape” to people not directly at his base and where is more likely. Defeat more than any other GOP candidate.
“It’s an incredible flaw, he’s abusing people, he’s in serious criminal trouble and it looks like it’s going to take a while to get rid of,” Dean told MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Wednesday.
Trump has repeatedly voted for a third term in the presidential election, but has not yet confirmed his position.
Dean’s comments were made during a discussion about the success of Hillbilly Elegy author Jay D. Vance in the Ohio Republican Senate primary and how Trump-backed candidates will play in the 2022 midterm election.
Dean fired Vance – who in his own admission was a “never Trumper” and became one of the former president’s staunch supporters – as a “second -class writer” and “Huckster”.
He compared Vance to Senator Josh Haul (R-Mo) and described the two as “a lot of BS, less loyal to the US, smooth”.
