Senator Tom Cotton Drops 2024 Hint with New Foreign Policy Book

Senator Tom Cotton’s upcoming book release has some speculating if it’s his first move towards launching a bid for the White House in 2024. The book’s release comes soon after November’s midterms when Americans will begin shifting their focus to the next presidential election.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Only the Strong: Reversing the Left’s Plot to Sabotage American Power is due to be released on Nov. 15, one week after the Nov. 8 elections, as attention turns to the next presidential contest. The book is billed as an indictment of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy that will reveal “the untold inside story of how progressive ideologues and Democratic politicians abandoned the American tradition of strength, pride, and honor.”

Cotton, 45, has spent the past six years laying the foundation for a White House bid, originally eyeing 2020 but shifting his gaze to 2024 after Donald Trump unexpectedly won the presidency in 2016. The timing of his latest book, mid-November, would seem to confirm the Arkansas Republican’s 2024 intentions. The period immediately following a midterm election is traditionally the unofficial kickoff of the presidential cycle.

“Sen. Cotton conceived the book in the days after the Kabul disaster,” a source close to the Republican said, referring to Biden’s mismanaged withdrawal of United States forces from Afghanistan.

“He gets asked a lot about the dangers we face and why Obama and Biden are so weak,” the source added. “As a senator, combat veteran, and student of history, he’s uniquely positioned to explain that the Democrats don’t just make mistakes or have bad luck — they oppose American power and have wanted to constrain America from the beginning.”

It’s clear that Cotton has presidential aspirations but former President Donald Trump has also made it clear he’s mulling another presidential run teeing up a potential face-off between the two Republicans.

Trump has yet to confirm his 2024 plans but even his wife Melania has started dropping hints about his potential comeback campaign.

Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth met with the former first lady in Florida and asked her if she could see herself living in the White House again.

“Never say never,” Trump said, and smiled while saying she enjoyed living there. “To be first lady of the United States was my greatest honor. I think we achieved a lot in four years of [the] Trump administration.”



  1. Tom save your money come back in about 10yrs – after Trump – then DeSantis – you are good but you ain’t in their league yet

  2. We don’t need Sen Cotton messing up the election. Pres. Trump will win the Primary and if Cotton or any other person runs as independent it will split the vote. We don’t need that!!

  3. Sen. Cotton would be a great VP and then be set to step up in 2028 as leader. I think we need Trump back to ramrod change back to America first and Senator Cotton would be an awesome #2 to help Trump get American’s back on track. The next term would be a great carryover to keep America Great! Governor Desantis would also be another good person for the 2028 term!
    GOP has some good people to rise up but also need to weed out RINO’s.

  4. KEEP WISHING SENATOR! YOU THINK WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON BEHIND OUR BACK INSIDE OUR GOVERNMENT! YOU NEED TO PRAY!

  5. I believe he has as much of a chance as anyone who wants to try for the POTUS. However, if President Trump runs he and anyone else from the GOP would be wasting their time, energy and money as President Trump will be the wrecking ball to knock out all other candidates. Their best bet would be to wait until 2028, and while still Senator work with Trump and get things done, make a difference and Make America Great Again and get Trump’s endorsement.
