Weeks ago, he seemed like the clear frontrunner. Now, Republicans blame him for inciting riots at the Capitol and his 2024 prospects are in doubt.

After he lost his reelection bid in November, Donald Trump immediately told allies he planned to run for president again in 2024, preparing to announce as soon as Inauguration Day.
He began backing off the idea after learning that running would require him to release a new round of financial documents that would make him vulnerable to his ongoing criminal and civil investigations and lawsuits, according to two Republicans close to Trump. Then came last week.
A growing number of Republicans hold Trump responsible for inciting the deadly riots inside the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. The clashes came hours after they blamed Trump for a pair of losses in Georgia that will leave the Senate in Democratic control.
In interviews, more than half a dozen Republicans who had supported or worked for Trump say the president isnt likely to run again, though he may tease it. If Trump changes his mind again and chooses to run, some said they would urge him not to, while others hope hed be talked out of it.

It is all about him. Avenging a loss would give him "proof" the election was stolen. Obviously, that is not true. However it would give him a device to "save face".
Clearly fogged in

Even if he just teases about it, Trumps presence will fracture the GOP.
