Of course it makes it more difficult for people who might want to run, Cramer said, before adding: Its not up to him to make it easy for other people to run.
Those whove worked for Trump Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley are in perhaps the toughest spot of all. Each would have to maneuver around the soon-to-be-former president after spending the last four years aligning themselves with him.
But some argue the three would benefit from the president freezing the 2024 field. Pence, Pompeo and Haley have used their roles in the administration to establish national profiles, build donor networks and deepen their ties to conservative activists.

Theres also other factors to consider, such as whether hes even healthy enough to run again or that he could be in serious legal trouble in the future.

(3,461 posts)This game is the new cash cow for him and his cronies. Plus theres a very real chance he can win again. 16 was a fluke, its not a fluke anymore, this is a bonafide cult with tens of millions of believers. Hes not going to give up the power and hold he has on the party. No way.
