Kayleigh McEnany has called on her former boss President Donald Trump to postpone his 2024 run announcement until after the Georgia runoff election.
The runoff for the U.S Senate seat between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker has been set for December 6.
The Democrats may have beaten expectations last night but the size of the Republican majority in the House or Senate does not matter so long as they have one.
The GOP is closing fast on securing the House for the next two years and the check on Democrat President Joe Biden that it affords.
The Senate is tight and it looks like it will come down to the runoff in Georgia.
The GOP candidate leads in Nevada but there remain a lot of uncounted ballots left.
In Arizona, the Democrat leads but there appears to be a good amount of ballots favoring the GOP to be counted.
Unless the GOP wins both, it comes down to Georgia.
Trump is expected to announce his reelection bid on November 14.
However, McEnany wants him to postpone until after the Georgia runoff to help secure the Senate seat for Republicans.
“Every ounce of Republican energy, every last ounce, needs to go into that Georgia race because it could potentially be what makes or breaks the Senate,” she said.
“Getting Herschel Walker over the finish line.
“I know there’s a temptation to talk about 2024.
“No, no, no. 2022 is not over. No contender should announce for 2024 until we get through December 6th.
“Every Republican energy needs to go to grinding the Biden agenda to a halt.”
“Does that include Trump?” Outnumbered co-host Harris Faulkner asked.
Kayleigh said:
“I think he needs to put it on pause, absolutely.
“He will make his own decision.
“I think Governor Desantis should be welcomed given what happened last night.
“You have to look at the realities on the ground.
“We have to win the Senate.
“That’s it.
“Got to win the Senate,” she said.
