GOP senator: Too difficult to say if Trump will be 2020 nominee

Source: CNN



By Jonathan Easley - 08/21/17 10:54 AM EDT


Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Monday said she’s unsure whether President Trump will be the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in 2020.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson, Collins, who wrote in Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) name for president in 2016, said it’s “too early to tell” whether Trump will seek a second term.

Asked if she believes Trump will be the party’s 2020 nominee, Collins responded: “It’s too difficult to say.”

Trump’s campaign has not taken a break since the president’s surprise electoral victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.

The campaign has been relentlessly fundraising and releasing campaign ads, while the president has taken breaks from his White House duties to hit the road for rallies in the states that he won in 2016.

I'm sure she has some very concrete reasons for her doubts about Trump's 2020 candidacy.

She's being careful at this point, but you know Ryan and McConnell are talking about it behind closed doors.

We need to take things one day at a time, and give Robert Mueller the chance to bring this whole administration down.
Hopefully he'll get Pence along with Trump, and as many others as possible.

Maybe by 2020 there won't even be a Republican Party.
