Bill Weld, the Republican former governor of Massachusetts who is mounting primary challenge to Trump, insisted he is running to win his party's nomination, not just weaken the president
Bill Weld, the Republican former governor of Massachusetts who is mounting primary challenge to President Donald Trump, insisted Wednesday he is running to win his party's presidential nomination, not just weaken Trump.
“Mr. Trump and California don't seem to get along well,” he said, so “I think there is promise there.” When “New Day” host Alisyn Camerota pointed out that history was not on Weld’s side for winning the nomination, he countered by pointing out that in the last five elections when a sitting president faced a primary challenger, the incumbent president lost reelection, compared to winning reelection when they did not face a primary challenge.“My strategy that I just laid out for you, that’s a strategy to win. That’s not a strategy to weaken anybody.
Weld also suggested he could garner votes from liberal Democrats indifferent toward their own sprawling primary field.
