Peter King Wants Republicans To 'Fire' Trump From 2024 Aspirations

SEAFORD, NY — Former president Donald Trump is expected to announce his 2024 campaign for a return to the White House.

However, Tuesday's midterms were not an overall success for the Republicans, who are struggling to remain in a deadlocked Senate, giving the Democrats the advantage. The "red wave" also didn't happen in the House, where the Republicans are not expected to flip as many seats as they hoped.

It's all too much for Peter King, the retired South Shore Congressman.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, the former congressman said, "'You're fired,' That's the message Republicans must deliver to Donald Trump. ASAP!"

King, the respected representative, was in Congress from 1993-2021.

While King said he supported Trump twice for president, "It was Trump’s ego first, last and always," he said.

The veteran politician acknowledged Trump's tactic to re-litigate the 2020 election in rallies and attack other Republicans. After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' re-election victory, Trump was quick to criticize the likely candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination with "goon squad threats," King said.

"Americans have had enough," King said. "For Republicans to win in 2024, we must close the book on Donald Trump."
