https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/kinzinger-toys-with-primary-challenge-against-trump-in-2024 🦍📡🇺🇸✴️✴️✴️✴️👁👁🤬 Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Monday that he would "love" to challenge former President Donald Trump in 2024, but he stopped short of committing to the showdown.

Though toying with a run for governor, senator, and president, Kinzinger refrained from announcing further political ambitions following his retirement from Congress, a move he announced last year after unfavorable redistricting in his home state of Illinois.

>>“I would love it. I really would,” he told the HuffPost about a primary challenge against Trump. “Even if he crushed me, like in a primary, to be able to stand up and call out the garbage is just a necessary thing, regardless of who it is. … I think it’d be fun.”

Trump has flirted with announcing another run for the White House in 2024 but has not made any formal announcements.

Kinzinger emphasized that he currently has no plans to run for president but is "not going to rule it out," either.

>>“I’ll make a decision when we get there, if there’s a need and a desire. It’s truly not anything I’m planning right now, but I’m not going to rule it out,” he said. “Look, if we’re in a position, if it’s just terrible candidates and the country’s in a worse place? Maybe. But there’s no grand plan right now.”

Kinzinger contended he is "exhausted of the same arguments, the same kind of performative politics," particularly in the House. But he is open to vying for political office elsewhere in the future.

>>“I don’t know. Maybe I would have run for governor. Maybe I would have run for Senate. Who knows? But yeah, my time in the House is, mercifully, coming to an end,” he said.😅🤣
