Description
The news that Elon Musk is buying Twitter has thrown Washington into a
tizzy over one major question: Will Donald Trump return to his old
favorite social media platform and start tweeting again?
As it turns out, no one is more petrified of this than members of
Trump’s own party.
On Monday night, in a series of calls and texts with several top GOP
insiders, every single one of them told us that they hoped the former
president stays the hell away from Twitter, lest he sink their chances
at flipping the House and Senate. Some of his allies even think that a
return to his old Twitter habits could damage his own brand ahead of a
possible third presidential bid in 2024.
