Barr was asked during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper if he would get involved in a primary challenge against former President Trump and support another candidate if Trump ran, to which he replied, “Yes.”
“Yes, I think the coming presidential election would be a good opportunity for the Republican Party because from my standpoint, the progressive left has — is sort of showing a sort of a totalitarian temperament,” Barr replied.
“I think the Republicans can win a decisive majority, but I don’t think we can do it with Trump. He’s just too divisive a candidate,” he added…
“He’s not my idea of a president, and … I felt he was going to lose the election because he was not controlling himself. He was allowing this pettiness to come through, and I feel it’s one of his great failings,” Barr told Tapper, speaking of the former president.
