After condemning the January 6th deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol and calling those who broke into the federal building “stupid,” Senator Charles Grassley was one of the 43 Republicans who voted last month to acquit former President Donald Trump on the charge of inciting the insurrection.

The former president hinted at a 2024 election run at the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, and when asked whether he would support his candidacy, Sen. Grassley says he wouldn’t support a Democratic candidate, and he mentions support of Trump’s policies, “I could make a long list of things that I agree with: getting Europe to pay more for their defense, putting China on the spot on stealing our intellectual property, on rewriting the North American free trade agreement, and putting the embassy in Israel, in Jerusalem instead of Tel Aviv, and all those sorts of things. So I could just go on and on and on about the things I think he did right for the country.”

Grassley says he won’t be worrying about the next Republican nominee until the fall of 2023. Trump is the first president in U.S. history to be impeached by the House of Representatives twice, and to be tried for impeachment after leaving office.
