Donald Trump would “certainly” be the Republican Party nominee for president in 2024 if he decided to run again, a strategist has told the BBC. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Sam Nunberg, a former Trump political adviser, said that the US President had changed the right-wing party for good. He warned that President-Elect Joe Biden could find the next four years “very very difficult” to handle.
Mr Nunberg said: “If the Republican Party is going to continue to grow and to be able to win presidential elections, we need candidates that run on the Trump doctrine.
“Remember Donald Trump will be younger in 2024 than Joe Biden is now.
“Should he want to run, I don’t know if he would, he would certainly be the nominee.
“Joe Biden is going to have a very difficult time, he is inheriting a very difficult situation.”

Mr Nunberg also tipped Ted Cruz, the runner-up for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2016 election, as an option.
He said: “He did very well against Donald Trump actually.
“And, of course, what would happen if Donald Trump said he wasn’t going to run but he nominated his son?
“I think his son, Donald Trump Jr, would be very difficult to defeat in a Republican primary.
“So it’s actually, in a weird way, an exciting time, even though the Republicans are not going to have a presidency.”
