'Houston, we've got a problem': Trump rival makes brutal observation about his electability

In an interview with Newsweek Larry Elder, who is making an outside bid to be the 2024 Republican Party presidential nominee, made his case that Donald Trump has no chance of being re-elected in 2024.

Explaining that he is not specifically running against Trump but actually running against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Elder -- who previously flopped as a candidate in California's gubernatorial recall vote in 2021 -- said Republican voters can judge for themselves whether the former president stands a chance.

Speaking with Newsweek, Elder proposed that GOP primary voters -- before casting their ballots -- ask themselves, "Have you lost friends because of Donald Trump? Are you walking on eggshells at work because of Donald Trump? Do you have strained relationships with your family and relatives because of Donald Trump?"

Continuing in that vein he added, "If the answer is yes, Houston we've got a problem, and that problem is called electability."

"I think at some point in this long process, Republican voters are going to realize in order to win in November 2024 they're going to have to unite behind a candidate whose last name is other than Trump, but for whom a sufficient number of swing voters and swing states will vote so we can win in November 2024, and I'm making the case that I'm that person," he added.
