Trump will 'go nuclear' to sabotage any 2024 GOP nominee that isn't him: elections expert

Even though President Joe Biden is currently saddled with historically low approval numbers, Real Clear Politics elections analyst Sean Trende believes that he stands a better shot at getting reelected than many people realize.

The reason, Trende writes on Twitter, is that former President Donald Trump seems intent on running in 2024, and that could benefit Biden regardless of whether Trump wins the nomination.

If Trump wins the nomination, then Biden will be up against an opponent who has similarly bad favorability numbers and who could even improve Biden's numbers by taking attention away from the incumbent president by making his trademark outrageous statements.

And if Trump doesn't win the nomination, argues Trende, he will "go nuclear on the GOP nominee" and sabotage their chances of winning in the fall election by discouraging his supporters from voting.

and thus the election; GOP vs. Ultra-MAGA. There is NO way Trump would ever back out and throw his support to anyone else for the sake of party unity.

He will refuse to endorse the nominee. It'll be a brutal split that will only benefit Democrats.
