Republican political strategist Rick Wilson predicted that Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, will run for office in 2024 and is likely to secure the GOP nomination in a Daily Beast op-ed published Thursday.
"There are three 2024 scenarios that Republicans pretend they won't face, but that represent the further decline and fall of a once-great party of conservative ideas," Wilson wrote. "First, the clues have been there all along that the real 2024 primary will be between Donald J. Trump, Jr. and everyone else."
"It's becoming more obvious by the day," he said.
Trump Jr. — who's currently serving as a trustee and executive vice president for the Trump Organization — has been "on the road doing fundraisers and political events for the Republican candidates," Wilson noted, as a signal that he's considering a future run for the White House.
The president's son is also a Fox & Friends favorite and his book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, is coming out soon, the GOP strategist continued.
"He is fluent in the language of whining, dickish grievance-mongering, which has replaced modern conservatism," Wilson said. "Whether the GOP wannabe 2024 field knows it or not, it's DJTJ's opening shot for the 2024 nomination."
He then suggested that Trump Jr. may have an even greater chance of the GOP 2024 nomination if his father loses his 2020 reelection bid. "Every single one of these candidates will spend the year before the election posturing and posing as the sole heir to Donald Trump's legacy," he added.
Newsweek reached out to Donald Trump Jr. for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
Last Thursday, Trump Jr. headlined a rally in support of Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin's re-election bid with his partner Kimberly Guilfoyle at Pikeville's Appalachian Wireless Arena. According to WFPL, the event's organizers had to ask "the audience to move out of the seats and closer to the stage" because the rally was so "sparsely-attended." Roughly around 200 people were in attendance, WFPL reported.
In addition to running events to support the GOP, Trump Jr. also frequently tweets attacks at Democratic figures, such as former Vice President Joe Biden, freshman lawmaker Ilhan Omar and Senator Kamala Harris. In June, Trump Jr. shared a tweet from a right-wing personality who claimed that Harris was not black enough to represent African Americans.
"Kamala Harris is implying she is descended from American Black Slaves. She's not. She comes from Jamaican Slave Owners. That's fine. She's not an American Black. Period," Ali Alexander, a black MAGA personality who launched a website for other Trump supporters, tweeted. Trump Jr. quickly moved to share Alexander's sentiments, writing: "Is this true? Wow."
In March, Trump Jr. told Bloomberg he wouldn't "rule out" running for office in the future. "I definitely enjoy the fight," he said. "I definitely like being out there and I love being able to see the impact and the difference that it makes on these people's lives that I get to see all over the country."
I’ve been telling people this but they all said I was making it up.
Ivanka is as anti-2nd Amendment as Bloomberg is. No WAY should that woman be ANYWHERE NEAR the White House. Even now...
Will NOT vote for gun-grabbing Ivanka.
He’s solid on the 2nd. A hunter and shooter, himself.
Not eligible. Not NBC.
Tiffany Trump is the only Trump child that is a constitutionally eligible natural born citizen.
Marla Maples was the only mother that was a U.S. citizen when her Trump child was born.
Ivanna wasn’t, Melania wasn’t.
Don’t shoot this messenger. Nobody cares about the constitution anymore, so it won’t matter anyway.
I may be dummer than a box of rocks,but when I hear the Dynasty I associate that word with success.for example the New York Yankees would be considered a Dynasty because of success .when I hear that word associated with the Bush’s it don’t get it .I did not see much success.I would much rather have an other Trump that we know has some guts as any Damn nutless rino.If us deplorables let the the country club Republicans and the chamber of commerce chose our candidate were making the same mistake we made in the past and we will get the same results..
and in 2032 prepare for the coronation of ivanka
Same ones you have to be a critic.
About a third of them are foreign born and vote democrat, so goo luck.
That leaves 220 million. Then, 110 million. Can’t find a non Trump family member?

Anyone have the real story on this? I would drive a ways to see Don Jr. at a Campaign Event and I can imagine many other POTUS Trump Supporters would do the same.
I’m with you!
Ivanka is glamorous, pretty, bright and all that jazz, but she is too liberal for my taste.
I’ve seen Eric’s wife Lara speak on TV. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, well-informed, and an excellent, forceful speaker.
I’m not saying Lara should be a presidential candidate, but I wouldn’t mind seeing her in a House or Senate seat.
She would be a vast improvement over many of the federally elected politicians currently “serving” the State of New York.
‘After what his dad has been through, I think Donald Jr. is probably going to stay far, far away from politics.”
__________________________________________________________
I’m not so sure about that.
Don. Jr. has said that he “loves to be in the fight.”
I believe he really loves the political arena.
Anyway, time will tell.
Not into royalty.
Over Marco Rubio? Yeah
Over jeb bush? Definitely
Over John Kasich? Yep
Rand Paul? Odds are yeah
The question would be could he get on the stage. If not for his notoriety due to his dad he probably could not. But if somehow he did...i’d Support him over the usual pack of deep staters.
I think it will be between Pence and Haley, and that will probably be the ticket.
Well, then he’s a very brave man!
Nope, not happening—and it shouldn’t.
I love Don Jr, however—a much better Trump offspring for politics than the Manhattan liberal Ivanka.
What he could do is run for the House or Senate if he were living in a friendly district, however. If he worked his way up that way, he could be a legit candidate in another decade or so—if we haven’t totally lost our country by then.
