How can the Republican Party lose the White House in 2024? Simple: Nominate former President Donald Trump.
That’s according to former House Speaker and Republican Vice President nominee Paul Ryan.
“We know we’re going to lose with him,” Ryan said in an appearance on a Milwaukee television station. “[Trump] cost us the House in ’18, he lost the White House in ’20, he cost us the Senate in ’20, he cost us the Senate again in 2022, and he cost us probably a good dozen House seats in 2022. This is a lesson we don’t need to repeat again.”

Ryan also vowed not to attend the Republican National Conference (RNC) if Trump wins the party’s presidential nomination in 2024.
“I’ll be here if it’s someone not named Trump,” he said of the event, which is slated to be held in Wisconsin (Ryan’s home state). “I’m not interested in participating in that, no. Even in Wisconsin.”
Trump did not take Ryan’s comments lightly.
“Paul Ryan is a loser, Mitt Romney could have won without him,” Trump reportedly said.
Ryan, who has so far declined to back other GOP nominees, was Republican Senator Mitt Romney‘s running mate in the 2012 Presidential election.
Romney, like Ryan, doesn’t mince words when throwing shade at Trump. Recall the scathing speech Romney made back in 2016 when Trump was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Romney also voted to remove Trump from office, blaming him for the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Poll Results
Preliminary poll results are dubious at best. Trump, who is under investigation, beat President Joe Biden in a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll.
Yet, Biden beat Trump in a Wall Street Journal poll.
Also, most Republicans say they have a better chance at winning with someone “other than Trump,” according to a Marist/NPR poll.
Meanwhile, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley recently told her fellow Republicans that if they were “tired of losing” they should stand with her.
