"SNIP.......

“Donald Trump’s flirtations with launching a third presidential run during the Jan. 6 select committee’s probe might as well be a grenade inside the GOP’s midterm strategy. And Republicans aren’t sure how to defuse it,” Politico reports.

“Party leaders want Trump to hold off on any campaign announcement at least until after November’s midterms so the GOP can make the 2022 elections a clean referendum on President Joe Biden. They see a clear road map toward netting the handful of House and Senate seats they need to flip Congress, with a twice-impeached former president still under investigation possibly blocking their path.”

...... SNIP"

2. Trump wants to undercut Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy before the midterms: former GOP lawmaker

TFG wants to put himself on the ballot for the 2022 midterms and to undercut McCarthy and MoscowMitch if the GOP does well. This will be fun to watch

Reacting to a report that Donald Trump is giving serious thought to announcing his 2024 presidential run very soon, one former GOP lawmaker suggested the former president has multiple motives -- one of them being undercutting the GOP leadership team of Sen. Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy......

"Donald Trump is going to plan an announcement for two reasons," he began. "One, vanity, secondly, strategy."

"The vanity is he cannot let Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell retake Congress and make the story about McCarthy and Mitch McConnell," he explained. "He has to make Republicans resurgent in November about him, so he has to jump in front of the parade -- that's vanity."

"Strategy is because [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis is nipping at his heels," he added. "As soon as Ron DeSantis is reelected in Florida, should that happen, all eyes will turn toward whether Ron DeSantis is running. I actually think Ron DeSantis is running. I think he is currently passing Donald Trump, and it's very easy for DeSantis after his November election."

If the GOP win controls of the House or the Senate, TFG wants to claim credit.

I want TFG to be in effect on the ballot. The more we make the mid-terms about TFG, the better off Democratic candidates will do
