As the GOP backs away from MAGA after far-right candidates underperformed in the midterms, Banks avoids answering whether he still supports a Trump ’24 run.

. When asked on Sunday morning by Fox News anchor Shannon Bream about whether Trump’s primary candidacy is a “good or bad thing” for the GOP, Banks struck a more hesitant tone compared to his previous support for the ex-president.

“Donald Trump is popular figure in the Republican Party, in each corner of the country,” the MAGA-boosting congressman said, adding that “we’re still unpacking what happened last Tuesday, trying to figure out where our party goes from here.” Asked point-blank whether he will support Trump, Banks dodged the question: “I believe Donald Trump was an effective president, I believe could be a very effective president for our country again. I’ll save my endorsement for another place and time for the 2024 race. I’m focused wholly on what happened on Tuesday and how the party moves forward on Capitol Hill.”

HC_Richardson Yeah all it's going to take to break up with the cult is 'backing away.' Haha! Oh that's good. It's going to be a calamity for all involved. Have fun!

HC_Richardson Back away? Run like hell!

HC_Richardson Typical Indiana GOP coward. The place is full of these losers.

GOP will launch probes into Hunter Biden, Afghanistan if party wins House: Sen. BanksRep. Jim Banks vowed Sunday that Republicans would probe the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and scandal-scarred first son Hunter Biden if they win control of the House. It looks like the House will eventually stay with Dems....somehow they did something that only a couple of administrations have done in history. Not have major losses, almost a rarity or in 2020 losing all bellwether counties and losing Ohio and Florida and still winning. Weird. The Democrats are masters of working with all forms of political donation entities.

Trump backs Rick Scott over McConnell to be GOP leader as infighting growsSenator Rick Scott of Florida was reportedly planning to challenge McConnell for Senate leadership before the GOP's limp performance in the midterms. I guess the cantaloupe will just have to go back to his patch. Which won't happen because the donor class loves McConnell. He is effective at getting what they want from judges to breaks. Which makes him a disgusting human being , just stating the facts. Good idea.
