However, in an interview with Sky News Australia on Tuesday, Trump’s former chief of staff predicted that Trump will lose the general election.
“The Republican primary will revolve around Donald Trump, and he will likely win,” predicted Mulvaney. The general election will then focus on Donald Trump, and he will likely lose.
Mulvaney referred to Trump as a “turnout machine,” observing that he motivates both supporters and opponents to vote. The election “will be about him, ‘Do you love him or hate him?'” continued Mulvaney. Which is essentially a repetition of 2020.
Mick Mulvaney thinks Trump will be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
Mulvaney served as interim chief of staff at the White House from January 2019 to March 2020, during which time he confessed Trump’s attempt to strike a deal with Ukraine.
In addition to serving as director of the Office of Management and Budget and special envoy to Northern Ireland, he resigned from the Trump administration following the fatal Capitol disturbance.
Since then, Mulvaney has become critical of his former supervisor, and the sentiment appears to be mutual. Trump has characterized Mulvaney as “possibly the dumbest White House employee, along with John Bolton,” describing him as “uncharismatic” and “a born loser.”
