- A number of officials employed in former President Donald Trump’s administration heartily criticized his “low energy” 2024 announcement speech Tuesday evening.
- “No wonder Madison Cawthorn was the only Republican to show up. We need candidates who can look to the future and not just repeat the same rambling sob story about being a victim we’ve heard a thousand times.”
- Sarah Matthews, one of Trump’s deputy press secretaries, tweeted that “even the crowd seems bored” nearly an hour into Trump’s remarks.
- “This is one of the most low-energy, uninspiring speeches I’ve ever heard from Trump,” she wrote. “Not exactly what you want when announcing a presidential run.”
