NextImg:GOP senator says he won’t support Trump in 2024: ‘Where do I begin?’

GOP Sen. Todd Young (R), whose relationship with former President Trump has frayed after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, said Thursday, the day after Trump’s divisive CNN town hall, that he won’t be backing the former president’s bid to return to White House.

“I don’t intend to support him for the Republican nomination,” Young told reporters on Thursday.

The senator dinged Trump for his comments on the war in Ukraine during the town hall, with the former president declining even to say whether he wanted Ukraine or Russia to win the war. Instead, he said he just wanted the conflict to be settled.

“I think President Trump’s judgment is wrong in this case,” the Indiana Republican said. “President [Vladimir] Putin and his government have been engaged in war crimes. I don’t believe that’s disputed.”

When asked what his reason was for refusing to endorse Trump, who has a commanding lead in GOP primary polls, Young replied, “Where do I begin?”

Young did not pick up an endorsement from Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign after the lawmaker said the former president bore responsibility for what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump has picked up the official support of at least nine Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and J.D. Vance (Ohio). No other sitting senator has come out to endorse a candidate other than Trump.

Young did not say which candidate he planned to support in lieu of Trump.
