Former Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele said Friday that former President Donald Trump might never leave office if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

"Donald Trump, a year before all this began, was telling us, 'If I lose this election, it's rigged because I own this election. This is mine. I'm going to be president for as long as I want to be president,'" Steele told a MSNBC panel on Morning Joe.

Voters need to understand the consequences of putting Trump back in office, according to Steele.

"What the hell you think he's gonna be trying to do for the next four years?" he said. "He's not gonna say, 'Well, thank you for the four years, I'm ready to move on.'"

"He's got enough role models, globally, to look at how he can try to lock in his power."

An individual like former Attorney General William Barr will not be there to prevent a "back end" process next time, Steele said.

"He's not gonna have, you know, people who are gonna stand up to him in the FBI or any place else," according to Steele.

"He's gonna put sycophants in place who will nod and say, 'Yes, sir. How much of this do you want us to take for you?'"
