<p>Former National Security Adviser John Bolton revealed Monday he may run for president in 2024 to spoil Donald Trump&#8217;s reelection bid.</p>
<p>Setting the stage for the entry of Trump&#8217;s first rival in the Republican primary contest, Bolton took aim at his former boss for suggesting over the weekend that parts of the U.S. Constitution should be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-fires-back-at-trump-for-suggesting-terminating-parts-of-u-s-constitution-over-twitter-files-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terminated to overturn his 2020 election</a> defeat during an interview on NBC News&#8217; &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221;</p>
<p>If no other potential Republican candidates make &#8220;Shermanesque statements&#8221; in response to what Trump said, Bolton declared, &#8220;I’m going to seriously consider getting in.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: Fmr. Nat’l Security Adviser John Bolton is considering a 2024 presidential run if it would prevent fmr. President Trump from taking office again. </p>

<p>Bolton, known for his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-ill-consider-john-bolton-secretary-state-aaron-bandler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hawkish foreign policy views</a>, served roles in the Reagan administration and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush. He later worked as Trump&#8217;s national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019, when Trump forced Bolton out <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/us/politics/john-bolton-national-security-adviser-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amid foreign policy disputes</a>.</p>

<p>Trump, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-launches-third-bid-for-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally announced</a> his 2024 campaign last month, is facing widespread backlash for his post on Truth Social on Saturday, reacting to the release of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reacts-to-hunter-biden-twitter-files-widespread-fraud-in-2020-leaves-only-two-options" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Twitter Files” by saying</a>, “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” He later <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/05/trump-terminate-constitution-00072230" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied making the suggestion</a>, but as of press time has not <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109449803240069864" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deleted the initial post</a>.</p>
<p>Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) told reporters on Monday he disagrees with Trump&#8217;s statement and said the comments present a &#8220;golden opportunity&#8221; for potential challengers, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3762616-thune-trump-call-to-terminate-constitution-a-golden-opportunity-for-2024-rivals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Hill</a>.</p>
<p>At least one Republican who has <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/chris-christie-says-considering-2024-bid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entertained a 2024 run</a>, former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ), has spoken out against Trump for the suggestion. &#8220;It should not be hard to say that the 2020 election is over,&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hiTPKe-bTo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he said on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; on Sunday</a>.</p>
<p>“I think to be a presidential candidate you can’t just say, &#8216;I support the Constitution.&#8217; You have to say, &#8216;I would oppose people who would undercut it,'&#8221; Bolton said in his interview with NBC.</p>
