Toppdemokrat: Flera vill byta ut Trump till 2020

Flera inflytelserika personer inom Republikanerna undersöker möjligheten att bli av med Donald Trump i samband med valet 2020. Det skriver ekonomen Robert Reich, tidigare minister i Bill Clintons regering, i en krönika i Newsweek.

Reich har talat med en republikansk tidigare kongressledamot som säger att flera republikaner i kongressen tror att cirkusen kring Trump, och hans låga popularitetssiffror, riskerar att minska möjligheten för dem att bli omvalda. Enligt Reichs källa undersöker man nu möjligheten att låta en annan republikan kandidera till president i valet om tre år.

”Det manövreras redan för fullt. Pence är en självklar kandidat. (Ted) Cruz tror att han har en chans”, säger Reichs källa.
