WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican senator opposed to President Donald Trump on Sunday called for primaries for the Republican Party to choose a candidate for next presidential term in 2020, contrary to the fact that the two parties considered the outgoing president his natural candidate if he wanted a second term, On Trump.
"One of them has to run for the Republican Party, at least to remind Republicans what it means to be conservative," said Jeff Flick, the Arizona senator. "It means being respectful too." According to AFP.
Asked if he could run against Trump, Flake said: "I do not think so." "There are better candidates."
Fleck, who leaves office in January 2019, warned voters in his former Republican stronghold would reject candidates "stuck to the president."
"I think we are seeing that in other parts of the country, too, we are losing the suburbs."
Flick revealed my name as potential candidates to compete with Trump, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sassi and Ohio Governor John Kayesk, the losing candidate in the party's last primary.
Trump confirmed during the mid-term campaign that he was 100% confident that he would run in the 2020 presidential race to win a second term.
Flick is one of the main opponents of Trump in the Republican Party, and on Wednesday criticized his decision to send thousands of US troops to the border with Mexico to address a convoy of immigrants from Central America to the United States. "It is regrettable to see soldiers there," he said. "We can only see it as a political trick."
