So with the 2022 midterms wrapping up in a disappointment for Republicans and Trump set to declare his candidacy for president Tuesday, what Brooks said Friday should perhaps surprise no one.
“It would be a bad mistake for the Republicans to have Donald Trump as their nominee in 2024,” Brooks said in an interview with AL.com. “Donald Trump has proven himself to be dishonest, disloyal, incompetent, crude and a lot of other things that alienate so many independents and Republicans. Even a candidate who campaigns from his basement can beat him.”
A reference, of course, to virtual campaign events Biden held from his home in Delaware during the pandemic.
“It’s just the way it is,” Brooks said.
Brooks will leave office Jan. 3 after six terms in Congress, saying he is retiring from politics.
