As the 2024 presidential election heats up, Republican staffers are increasingly ditching former President Donald Trump’s help in favor of other candidates.
A number of Republican staffers have said that they are not interested in working for Trump again, citing his role in the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and his continued false claims about the 2020 election.
“I don’t want to work for someone who is a threat to democracy,” one Republican staffer said.
Another staffer said that Trump’s “erratic behavior” is making it difficult to do their job.
“It’s hard to do your job when you don’t know what the boss is going to do next,” the staffer said.
Trump’s unpopularity among Republican staffers is a sign of the growing divide within the party. While Trump remains the most popular figure in the Republican Party, there is a growing number of Republicans who are looking for new leadership.
The 2024 Republican presidential race is wide open, and it remains to be seen who will emerge as the nominee. However, it is clear that Trump’s grip on the party is loosening.
