Who should be president? 'Someone Not Named Trump,' Says Former GOP Vice Presidential Candidate
How can the Republican Party lose the White House in 2024? It's simple: Name former President Donald Trump.
That's according to former House Speaker and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan.
"We know we're going to lose with him," Ryan said during an appearance on a Milwaukee television station. "[Trump] cost us the House in 18, he lost the White House in 20, he cost us the Senate in 20, he cost us the Senate again in 2022, and he probably cost us a good dozen seats in the House in 2022. This is a lesson we need not repeat.

Ryan has also vowed not to attend the Republican National Conference (RNC) if Trump wins the party's presidential nomination in 2024.
"I'll be there if it's someone not named Trump," he said of the event, which is set to be held in Wisconsin (Ryan's home state). "I'm not interested in participating in this, no. Even in Wisconsin."
Trump did not take Ryan's comments lightly.
"Paul Ryan is a loser, Mitt Romney could have won without him," Trump reportedly said.
Ryan, who has so far refused to endorse other GOP candidates, was Republican Sen. Mitt Romney's running mate in the 2012 presidential election.
Romney, like Ryan, doesn't mince words when he throws shade at Trump. Remember Romney's scathing speech in 2016 when Trump was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Romney also voted to remove Trump from office, blaming him for the January 6 insurrection.
Survey resultsPreliminary poll results are questionable at best. Trump, who is under investigation, beat President Joe Biden in a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll.
Yet Biden beat Trump in a Wall Street Journal poll.
Also, most Republicans say they have a better chance of winning with someone "other than Trump", according to a Marist/NPR poll.
Meanwhile, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley recently told fellow Republicans that if they were "tired of losing" they should stick to her sides.
