Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on Sunday that she believes former President Trump will run in 2024 and will have “no guardrails.”
“I think he is going to run again and you know that’s why I’m speaking out the way I am. I don’t want him to run again,” Grisham told “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd on NBC.
“I think people aren’t remembering that if he does run again in 2024, he’ll have no guardrails because he will never have to worry about reelection, so he will do whatever he wants. He will hire whomever he wants, and I think that includes people of the January 6 mind,” she said, referring to the mob attack on the Capitol that led to Trump’s second impeachment.
“At first I, I really thought he wouldn’t run again, I honestly thought this was a lot of his bluster which you know he’s good at doing. He was doubling down he’ll never admit to losing etc.,” Grisham said.
But Grisham now thinks Trump, who visited Iowa on Saturday evening for a rally, will run again for the White house because polls show he is the leader of the GOP and few Republicans are speaking out against him.
Grisham, who served in her role as the White House press secretary for nine months, has been outspoken against Trump, especially as she promotes her new book, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” which was released earlier this month.
