Republicans warned Trump will put them in an 'awful position' choosing his replacement

Looking far ahead at how the 2028 presidential nominations will line up, former Republican party campaign consultant Matthew Dowd predicted Donald Trump will, in all likelihood, put his party in an awful bind.

Reacting to accusations that the president is attempting to "freeze" the field as he flirts with running for a third term despite constitutional prohibitions, Dowd suggested Trump would wait to the last minute to pick his successor, thereby leaving the GOP leadership stuck with whomever he anoints.
