Trump’s opponents on the Right are eager to launch a primary challenge contesting the president’s reelection efforts. But what they’ve offered so far isn’t much of an improvement at all.
In April, 2016 Libertarian Party vice-presidential candidate Bill Weld announced he was running against Trump for the Republican nomination this time around. But Weld only rejoined the GOP at the beginning of the year, so he has little major party name recognition to fall back on. In addition, he is a longtime supporter of abortion and has a dubious record on matters of religious liberty. These liberal positions make Weld a far-from-ideal option for Trump-frustrated conservatives.
