Former Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker kisses the (T)rump
In an interview with NBC News, Walker argued that former President Trump "has earned the right to be in this race and understandably the front-runner" due to his record while in the Oval Office, even as some GOP activists and politicians are seeking to move beyond the former president and embrace another candidate who can carry a conservative message and is less polarizing to voters that the party will need to win over in 2024.
"I wouldn't write him off, but he's not the new, completely different outsider that he was in 2016 that all of us were not able to overcome," Walker said of Trump during the interview.
The former governor, who lost his reelection bid for a third term in 2018 and now serves as president of the Young America's Foundation, also had a warning for the party as it looks to nominate a standard-bearer next year.
"Even if voters look to someone new, potentially someone of a younger generation, I think we as conservatives have got to be very careful that we don't lose touch with the voters who were energized by President Trump in '16 and '20," he said.
