Sears told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that Trump had many accomplishments on the economy and public safety, but said voters have shown in the midterms that they want the Republican Party to have a different leader. “I couldn’t support him. I just couldn’t,” he said. Republicans were hoping for a red wave that would lead the party to major gains in the House and Senate in the midterm elections, but Democrats have been outpolled in many races. The GOP looks likely to win control of the House, but the margin will be much smaller than expected. Which party will control the Senate is uncertain. Many Trump-backed candidates in key House, Senate and gubernatorial races have either lost or are at risk of losing by a significant margin, and several Republican strategists and aides have blamed Trump for losses in what looked like winnable races. “A true leader understands when a liability has become,” Sears said. “A true leader understands that it’s time to step off the stage and voters have given us that very clear message.” He said voters are saying “enough is enough” and that America is “the prize.” Pelosi extends remote voting in House through Dec. 25 Here are the Nevada counties to watch as votes are counted in Senate, gubernatorial races Trump is expected to announce his third bid for the presidency on Tuesday at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, but some Republicans are reportedly urging him to delay the announcement until next month’s Georgia runoff election, which could determine which party controls the Senate. Sears has been a staunch Trump supporter and served as chairman of a group called “Black Americans to Re-elect the President” during the 2020 presidential election. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngin (R), who did not campaign with Trump during his gubernatorial campaign last year, has been rumored as a possible 2024 presidential contender and declined to say whether he is considering a run in an interview on CNN last month.
