Donald J. Trump refused to say he would support the next Republican presidential nominee if it was not him, exposing a potential quagmire along the party’s path toward reclaiming the White House in 2024 and showcasing, once again, the former president’s transactional spin on political loyalty.

In a radio interview on Thursday, the conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt asked Mr. Trump if he would support “whoever” wins the party’s nomination next year. Mr. Trump announced his third presidential campaign in November and faces a number of potential Republican challengers.

“It would depend,” Mr. Trump said, adding, “It would have to depend on who the nominee was.”

William P. Barr, who served as attorney general during the Trump administration, called Mr. Trump’s tactics “extortion” in an interview last August with Bari Weiss, a political writer and commentator. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about,” Mr. Barr said. “He’s all about himself.”

He hurt the candidates he endorsed. So what.

I can't wait for the Republican primaries.

The Republicans are going to be eating each other's asses like- Pygmies with a sever case of the munchies!
 
I look for Cheney to run as an independent, if Trump is the GOP nominee for 2024?!! Like she said, she will make sure Trump is nowhere close to the oval again?!! Cheney running as an independent will give republican/independent voters who detest Trump and don't want to vote democrat another choice?!!
