“I think the Republicans in Washington want to have no election, basically. I don’t think that would be very good for the country,” Weld told host Martha Raddatz. Weld announced his decision in New Hampshire on Friday, becoming the first high-profile challenge to Trump’s reelection bid. In the ABC interview, Weld also criticized Trump’s leadership style, pointing to the president’s declaration of a national emergency in pursuit of a wall along the border with Mexico. “He thinks he has to humiliate whoever he’s dealing with, or else he’s half a man,” Weld said.
