GOP senators are skeptical damaged Trump can win in 2024

The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that Donald Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House.

One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

“I don’t think he’ll run again and that’s a good thing, because of the whole cascade of events,” the senator said, referring to testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that Trump lunged at a Secret Service agent when he refused to drive him to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
