The Vermont Democratic Party opposes former President Donald Trump’s newly announced campaign for president, while the leader of the Vermont Republicans says they need a better choice in 2024.
Trump announced Tuesday he would run again for the office he lost re-election to in 2020.
The Vermont Democratic Party has responded saying it “will do everything in its power to ensure that our country is never again subjected to a Donald Trump presidency.”
Vermont GOP Chair Paul Dame released a statement on behalf of himself and not the state party saying “Trump is part of the past, and I want to focus on the future. Trump’s candidacy is at best a distraction... I believe that the best thing for the future of the party is for other qualified and accomplished Republicans to join the primary to give Republican voters a better choice in the 2024 election.”
