Rick Wilson on Trump’s Re-Election and Political Strategies
Rick Wilson, a former Republican strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, has been making headlines following the recent presidential election. In a recent discussion with Michael Steele on “The Michael Steele Podcast,” Wilson delved into the factors that led to Donald Trump‘s re-election and the implications of this outcome.
Wilson, who has been critical of Trump and the Republican Party, acknowledged that he was wrong about the election’s outcome but maintained his stance on what he believes the outcome should have been. He expressed his continued commitment to opposing Trump’s policies and strategies, even as he is no longer affiliated with the Republican Party.
The conversation also touched on the influence of figures like Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Trump’s campaign and the potential consequences of Trump having control over all three branches of the U.S. government. Wilson and Steele discussed the broader implications for the country under such a scenario.
Additionally, there has been criticism from some quarters regarding Wilson’s role in the Lincoln Project and his fundraising efforts. Some have accused him of exploiting Democratic donors by running ads that primarily appealed to wealthy Democrats rather than a broader audience.
