Trump has a 'great legacy,' should 'step aside' in 2024, says former Education Secretary Bill Bennett
Fox News
Former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett, who has repeatedly defended Donald Trump, says he will not back the former president in his 2024 run for the White House.
The comments from Bennett, who served at the helm of the Department of Education under President Ronald Reagan and director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President George H. W. Bush, came after Trump announced Tuesday evening that he would make a third run for the White House in 2024. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

"First of all, gratitude for the kind of country he ran. Our borders were secure, we were safe, the economy was humming for everybody, interest rates were low, and attention was being paid to the right things," Bennett said of Trump's time in the White House. "He ran a great country and policy trumps personality, but we've reached a point, and this is a calculation on my part, there are just too many people now who will not vote for Donald Trump."
