Lara Trump says it would be ‘nicer’ for Ron DeSantis to stay out of 2024 presidential election
Mike Pence has blamed Donald Trump for endangering his and his family’s life during the January 6 riots at the US Capitol last year.
“The president’s words were reckless,” Mike Pence tells ABC News in an interview set to air on Monday, adding he “endangered me and my family and everyone”.
It comes as Lara Trump issued a warning to Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis saying it would be “nicer” for him to stay out of the 2024 presidential nomination race, as he has emerged as the frontrunner to challenge Mr Trump during the midterm campaign.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump faces the fury of conservative enemies within his own party, with the GOP inching closer to a full-scale civil war in the wake of a dismal showing in last Tuesday’s vote.
Mr Trump has directed his own criticism at the Senate minority leader, saying it is “Mitch McConnell’s fault” and making a racist comment about Mr McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao.
“He blew the Midterms, and everyone despises him and his otherwise lovely wife, Coco Chow!” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
