Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh warned on MSNBC that Donald Trump might try to cancel the midterms or run again in 2028. Walsh, now a NeverTrump independent, said Trump remains a serious threat despite his age.
Last July, Walsh attended an event opposing the Republican National Convention, urging Republicans to support Kamala Harris. “You either believe, in this moment, that he is a threat to our democracy or you don’t,” Walsh said. “Stop there. There’s nothing else to speak about.”
STEELE: I couldn’t help but notice your head nodding there throughout that. I’m just going to let you address that. Those scenarios from the $250 bill to Mount Rushmore to a third Trump term.
WALSH: It’s too easy to have fun with this. But Michael, this is scary shit. Pardon me on a Sunday morning, and Lindsey Graham there, a United States Senate. You don’t joke about that, right? Trump’s what, 78, 79 years old? I have no doubt that if Trump could, he would try to run again. I think, Michael, the biggest failure of all of us during this Trump era has been the failure of imagination.
We have not imagined how bad and how low he’d go. He tried to overthrow an American election four years ago. I have no doubt that he could try to stop the midterm elections. If he’s physically able, he may try to run again in ’28. This is really scary.
