“If Trump asked me how to win again. I would run being accused twice. They are about to give him superpowers, ”wrote Parscale. “They are about to make you a martyr.”
After losing in November, Trump told the Allies that he was running in 2024, but that was before the Capitol insurrection he spurred, which led to his second unprecedented impeachment and clouded his political future.
Support between Republicans and Republican-inclined independents for a primary Trump 2024 offer for the Republican Party plunged from 53 percent in November to 40 percent in mid-January, according to POLITICO / Morning Consult surveys.
Parscale was the manager of Trump’s campaign in 2020 until July, when he was abruptly removed from his post. He remained in the campaign in a limited role until September, when he left completely after an incident at his Florida home, in which Parscale was unintentionally detained by the police.
In the Fox News interview, he said he is still loyal to Trump. Parscale, however, disagreed with Trump’s pandemic strategy, arguing that the then president should have been more empathetic in his response.
“A young family with a small child who is afraid to take them back to school wanted to see an empathic president. And an empathic Republican Party,” said Parscale. “And I said that several times and he chose a different path. I don’t think he was wrong, I love him, but we had a difference in that. I thought we should have public empathy.”
Trump faces a second Senate impeachment trial next week on charges of inciting the January 6 uprising on the United States Capitol. The Trump impeachment House in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but he was acquitted in the Senate. It is widely expected that Trump will be acquitted again this time.
