President Donald Trump, long considered teflon with his supporters, has given them precious little to get excited about recently.
Between the shadow cast by Special Counsel Robert Mueller after Roger Stone’s indictment and the President’s utter capitulation in the shutdown fight, Trump fans have had to face a President doing very little “winning.”
According to a Saturday New York Times report, Trump’s recent failures and dismal polling is piquing the interest of some possible 2020 Republican challengers.
A name frequently tossed around is Larry Hogan, the popular governor of Maryland. Hogan is reportedly setting up meetings with prominent never-Trumpers, like William Kristol, and reaching out to Iowa-based strategists.
Per the Times, also in the mix is William Weld, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts with a Libertarian bent.
Other less likely potential challengers are former Ohio governor John Kasich, former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE).
