Sen. Capito hopes Trump ‘plays a role’ in 2022 and 2024 elections

GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said she hopes former President Donald Trump plays a “role” in the 2022 and 2024 elections, but wouldn’t weigh in on another possible presidential run by Trump.

Capito, of West Virginia, was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether she would back a Trump presidential bid in 2024. “Well, I think that is a really premature question. And I think Jan. 6 still is very vivid in many of us who were at the Capitol that day, in our minds, as a very sad day for our country,” she said.
