'Can you support a candidate in 2024 who’s for suspending the Constitution?” “Whoever the Republicans end up picking, I’ll fall in behind.'
To this, Joyce said that it’s too soon to speculate who will be the Republicans’ presidential candidate, but he said he would support the GOP nominee regardless of who it is. “Whoever the Republicans end up picking, I’ll fall in behind,” he said.“Well, again, I think it’s going to be a big field. I don’t think Donald Trump’s going to clear out the field like he did in ’16,” Joyce responded, adding, “I will support whoever the Republican nominee is.
Stephanopoulos called Joyce’s statement “remarkable.” “You’d support a candidate who’s come out for suspending the Constitution?” he said. “Well, you know, he says a lot of things,” Joyce replied. “You have to take him in context… And I can’t be really chasing every one of these crazy statements that come out about — from any of these candidates that come out.”
“You can’t come out against someone who’s for suspending the Constitution?” Stephanopoulos asked incredulously. “Well, first off, he hasn’t — he has no ability to suspend the Constitution,” Joyce said. “He says a lot of things… but that doesn’t mean that it’s ever going to happen. So you’ve got to accept exact fact from fantasy. And fantasy is that we’re going to suspend the Constitution and go backwards. We’re moving forward and we’re going to continue to move forward as a Republican majority and as a Republican conference.
