The Republican National Committee (RNC) says it will not actively back former President Donald Trump should he decide to run again in 2024 and will remain neutral in the contest.
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said in an interview with the Associated Press that, “The party has to stay neutral. I’m not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024. That’s going to be up to those candidates going forward. What I really do want to see him do, though, is help us win back majorities in 2022.”
Republican National Committee head declines to encourage former President Trump to run again in 2024, saying the GOP would stay neutral in the presidential primary. RNC Chairman Ronna McDaniel also describes the QAnon conspiracy theory as “dangerous.”https://t.co/Xa9EF9pgGK

2020 Senior Advisor to the Trump campaign Jason Miller says that is exactly what Trump wants to do.
Miller says the president, “made clear his goal is to win back the House and Senate for Republicans in 2022.”
But there are some visible fissures in the Republican Party. All is not well for 2022.
A perfect example of that is the recent sniping between Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY).
