America might be ready for a "fresh start" with an alternative to President Donald Trump in 2024, says North Dakota GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer, and if that's the case, although he supported Trump in 2020, he thinks there might be another, better option.
"I would love to have four more years with Donald Trump, quite honestly," Cramer told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on "The Takeout" podcast. "I'm pretty close to him. I would love to have him start knowing what he knows now, start taking down the bureaucracy on day one rather than sort of trusting it. But at the same time, I think America, you know, would like a fresh start and maybe a Mike Pompeo. He's got the Trump doctrine down. He's believable on it. He understands it. He supports it himself."
Cramer understands there are several Republicans, including some of his fellow sitting senators, ready to vie for the presidential nomination if Trump sits out 2024. Pompeo is the only Republican Cramer mentioned as a viable alternative.
