Hutchinson
Since Hutchinson is running himself, should he really count? If he does count wouldn't Haley, and Scott, and more than likely DeSantis count too? Dickeyaustin786 ( talk) 06:13, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Endorsements of other GOP candidates
Should people who endorse other candidates be included in this list? Their endorsement of another GOP candidate isn't necessarily an opposition to Trump. Further, should even his oppositional candidates appear on this list? The other GOP candidates, by them running, feel they are either qualified to be president over the other candidates or could push for policy. But it also doesn't mean that they necessarily oppose a second Trump candidacy. If a source says that a person explicitly opposes Trump by name, I think that's the inclusion criteria. SWinxy ( talk) 03:57, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Suggested addition
I think David Jolly, former US Representative from Florida's 13th District (Pinellas County, St. Petersburg), and frequent commentator on MSNBC, defector from the Republican Party and critic of Donald Trump, is prominent enough to warrant inclusion in this list of Republicans who oppose Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. 2Doogman ( talk) 21:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Primary opposition
Is it right to include people who opposed Trump only in the primary as part of the list? The title "List of Republicans who oppose the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign" implies that this refers to current and continuing opposition to him winning the general election now that the primary is over. I doubt that's the case for people like Chip Roy or others who endorsed some of the other candidates in the primary. MisterWat3rm3l0n ( talk) 10:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
George W. Bush
I had added George W. Bush on the basis that he said in this article [1] he would likely write in a candidate, but I think this is probably better suited to a general election opposition list than a primary one. Maybe better saved for that. Cooltrainer Hugh ( talk) 01:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Bush has hinted at opposition to Trump. He supported Liz Cheney and Brian Kemp after they clashed with Trump. He has joked about writing in his brother or his dog in 2024. He also said he wrote in Condaleeza Rice in 2020. However, he has not explicitly taken an official position nor told people to not support Trump. In fact, he makes a deliberate point to avoid directly publicly criticizing his successors. Is this enough to include him in the list? 2600:1702:4E36:6110:0:0:0:60E ( talk) 19:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
