Usa news: As party leaders remained silent, a few Republicans on Sunday rejected Donald Trump’s extraordinary suggestion for “termination” of the U.S. Constitution and his installation as president.
“This is what kills my party right now,” said former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a Republican who is considering a 2024 presidential campaign against Trump and spoke on ABC’s “This Week.”
Mike Lawler, an incoming House Republican from New York, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that “obviously, I don’t support” Trump’s demands, and that the Constitution exists “to protect the rights of every American.” Lawler and others suggested that Trump needs to get past his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden: “I think the former president would be well-advised to focus on the future, if he is going to run for president again.”
