W.Va. Senator Capito: 'I hope that President Trump plays a role' in upcoming elections

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va) said on Sunday that she hopes former President Trump "plays a role" in the 2022 and 2024 elections, though she refrained from saying whether she would support another presidential run by him.

Dana Bash, host of CNN's "State of the Union," asked Capito if she would support a Trump 2024 presidential run, noting the senator had condemned his actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as "disgraceful."

"Well, I think that is a really premature question. And I think Jan. 6 still is very vivid in many of us who were at the Capitol that day, in our minds, as a very sad day for our country," Capito said. "The Republican Party is strong. We have got a lot of folks who are not just looking to lead into 2022 but into 2024. So we will see. I hope that President Trump plays a role. I don't know whether he will run or not, but we can sort that out as time goes on."

During a Fux Noise interview broadcast on Monday, Trump said he was looking at a run "beyond seriously" but wouldn't push the notion further.

Be careful what you wish for. Americans will be reminded of the bullet they dodged.

I know someone who went to school with all the Moore kids. She said once that Shelley Moore (Capito) was the "least awful" of all of them. If that's true I'd hate to meet the rest!

They deserve it for failing to stop their monster. Now let it eat them.

But it's premature to ask Senator Capito how she reconciles these conflicts. Which I take to mean, "Oh, you still remember January 6? Well, as soon as you sort of forget that disgraceful day, the better for my support of the former guy."

However, the part I have in mind for them is definitely one THEY. WON'T. LIKE. AT. ALL.
