Republicans have made a dramatic U-turn on the 2028 presidential election, with dozens of contenders now expected to enter the race to succeed Donald Trump as president, an insider told Raw Story.<\/p>\n

And while no candidates have officially announced their campaigns yet, Rick Wilson, former Republican operative and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, told Raw Story in an exclusive interview that he was tipped off about the development by strategists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of Republicans who are planning to run in 2028 is growing by the minute,\u201d Wilson told Raw Story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say a year ago, there was the presumption that Trump was trying to run again,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

But now it\u2019s different. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey think Trump is going to croak,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wilson anticipated that nearly 20 people are planning on vying for the nation\u2019s top job.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be people from Congress, from the Senate, governors, they\u2019re all going to get in because they\u2019re going to see the end of the Trump era. They\u2019re going to claim the throne of MAGA,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmbition is a hell of a drug,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Wilson shared insights about who some of the potential candidates could be, and how many have played a long waiting game and think it\u2019s about time they line up.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these guys have been sitting on the sidelines for a decade,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cThey all think they should be president.\u201d<\/p>\n

The number of candidates could present a problem for the GOP \u2014 and particularly Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re going to see a real mess starting in the spring of next year, where you\u2019re going to have the Ted Cruzes and Josh Hawleys and all these other people running around, and it\u2019s going to make Trump lose his damn mind. He\u2019s going to go crazy,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

As for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, it\u2019s unclear what they will decide to do. Wilson referred to the two Trump administration members as \u201ctwo men with an exaggerated view.\u201d <\/p>\n

He cited why Rubio\u2019s timing could hurt him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarco has peaked way too early. He\u2019s the golden child for Trump and MAGA world, but it\u2019s so early,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

By 2027, it will be clearer who might be next in line to succeed Trump and try to make gains among the MAGA movement, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch the spring of next year, you\u2019re going to see a lot of people suddenly visiting New Hampshire, suddenly visiting Iowa, suddenly announcing the \u2018American Dream super PAC\u2019 and writing terrible campaign books,\u201d Wilson added. \u201cThat\u2019s become sort of one of the things, the ritual.\u201d<\/p>\n
