He then goes and attacks two of the most popular Republican governors, the governor of Virginia and Florida, and now he talks about terminating the Constitution. “Trump backed the wrong candidates and lost virtually all of them in the Senate in 2022. 2024 is key to winning the future again. “Conservatives across the country are tired of losing.
