Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon says he will not support former President Donald Trump
KETVThere are signs that former President Donald Trump will run again in 2024.
He hasn't formally launched an exploratory committee, though. But already, Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon said he will not back Trump.
"When it comes to the primary I will not be supporting him. I'll be looking for better candidates. I want to win in our district," Bacon said.
"We lost our district by eight points at the presidential level and I ended up winning mine by five, roughly. So I think we should be looking for somebody that can win in the suburban areas."
Bacon, a Republican, did not comment on the Jan. 6, 2021, investigation.
