An ex-Republican senator called Donald Trump an election loser and said that he is unlikely to win the GOP's nomination for president in 2024, if he chooses to run.

Louisiana Republican said that Trump might lose the GOP nomination race, despite his high poll numbers among Republicans looking ahead to 2024.

Senator Trump claimed that he voted for Trump's conviction because he had sworn an oath supporting and defending the Constitution. I was led to this decision by revelations that we have received since January 6th, when there was a pattern in behavior that culminated in the same outcome.
