President Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday called out potential 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls for not being supportive enough of his father as votes are counted across the country to determine a White House winner.
Trump Jr., who is seen as a potential future political candidate, decried a “total lack of action” from those who may make a run in four years, as the current presidential race comes down to the wire in a handful of battleground states.
“They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead,” Trump Jr. tweeted, adding that his father “will fight & they can watch as usual!”
The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing.
They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead.
Don’t worry @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!

The president’s other adult son, Eric Trump, also bemoaned what he viewed as a lack of GOP action to support his father, calling on Republicans to “have some backbone.”
“Fight against this fraud. Our voters will never forget you if your [sic] sheep!” he tweeted.

Shortly after Trump Jr.’s initial tweet, a number of Republicans who are viewed as possible contenders for the party’s 2024 nomination chimed in on Twitter, voicing support for President Trump while urging for a fair election.

All votes that are *legally* cast should be counted.
There is NO excuse not to allow poll watchers to observe counting.

We all owe @realDonaldTrump for his leadership of conservative victories for Senate, House, & state legislatures. He and the American people deserve transparency & fairness as the votes are counted. The law must be followed. We have to keep the faith that the truth will prevail.

If last 24 hrs have made anything clear, it’s that we need new election integrity laws NOW. Ban ballot harvesting, guarantee poll watcher access, make ballot counting transparent. I will introduce

The cannibalization was inevitable but it’s starting fast. Trump will turn on GOP governors, state legislators, Fox, senators and representatives who are quietly slipping out the back door already. Another way of saying: personality cults don’t last if the personality is toast. https://t.co/fJShDUmDwc
