Former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh to Challenge Trump

Former Illinois Congressman and current radio host, Joe Walsh, will announce a bid to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination for president.

According to Politico:

CHICAGO — Joe Walsh, the flame-throwing conservative radio show host and former Illinois congressman, is moving toward challenging President Donald Trump in a Republican primary, calling the president an “unfit divider-in-chief” and claiming that the party is craving an alternative.

Walsh told POLITICO on Wednesday that he was confident he could secure the resources and support to mount a challenge against the president, and that if he ran, he would announce in short order. While Walsh on Wednesday would not yet confirm he would enter the primary, two sources who spoke to him said he was privately confirming he would announce his presidential bid this weekend.

“If I’m to do it, it’s going to happen soon,” Walsh told POLITICO on Wednesday. “I’ve been really surprised by the amount of anxiousness from people across the spectrum who want this president to have a challenge, because there’s just a real concern that he’s absolutely unfit.”

Walsh has little chance of posing a genuine threat to Trump, who’s light years ahead in fundraising and whose favorability remains strong with Republicans in poll after poll.

Walsh only served one term after being elected during the Tea Party movement in 2010.
