Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton on Monday suggested that some kind of intervention is needed when it comes to former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
During an appearance on CNN, Singleton was asked by host Jim Acosta about Trump's behavior in recent days, which has included lengthy rants falsely claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris used artificial intelligence to inflate the size of her crowds at rallies.
"I was talking to a Trump adviser earlier and asking him about Trump harping on this crowd size issue and asking, you know, why is he doing this?" Acosta revealed. "And the response I got in the text was, 'No effing clue.'"
Singleton responded by pointing to a Fox News appearance on Monday from former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who encouraged Trump to focus in on the issues rather than making wild claims about Harris faking crowd sizes.

Singleton also said that Trump needed to hit the trail more so that he could get some positive affirmation.
Acosta pointed out that there has been some talk of having an intervention in the campaign, with longtime adviser Kellyanne Conway reportedly being considered to come aboard.
"They have to get the former president back out there, on the campaign trail, making those cases in battleground states to voters versus what we're seeing on Truth Social," he said.
"Get him off Truth Social?" asked Acosta.
"Absolutely!" Singleton replied.
