Kellyanne Conway issued a warning to president Joe Biden during a CBS interview with Catherine Herridge. Conway took a swipe at Biden because his “party doesn’t really want him to campaign with them” during the midterms before saying Trump wants his old job back and will likely announce within after the midterms.
Herridge asked whether Trump would announce his candidacy after the midterm elections but by Thanksgiving and Conway responded, “Well, he would like to.”
She continued: “He’s as active as anybody in these midterm elections. That’s important to the calculus also, Catherine, because we have the most ironic, if not unprecedented situation right now.
“We have a president, a current president, whose party doesn’t really want him to campaign with them.
“I think once those midterms are done, President Trump can assess the timing of his announcement. (See Video Below)
“I will tell you why he wants to run for president — Donald Trump wants his old job back.”
She said Ron Desantis should wait to run for president and downplayed a feud btween the Florida governor and Donald Trump:
“They’re friends, they’re allies.
“I think people want Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump to be two scorpions in a bottle.
“They’re just not.”
Of DeSantis she said:
“He has the skills, he has the temperament, he has the moxie, and he has the the commitment to do that.
“Many of his generational peers will have been in the United States Senate.
“So if he’s running against a Ted Cruz or Rand Paul or Marco Rubio, let’s say Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and others, Ron DeSantis, his argument is you’ve been in the United States Senate, sometimes in the minority party, sometimes in the majority party, but what have you got to show for it?
“They’ll have to answer those questions.
“He’ll say, I’ve been the governor of the third largest state.
“Look what I’ve done.”
“My advice to the president privately is my advice to him publicly, which is, ‘If you want to announce, wait until right after the midterms,'” she said earlier about Trump.

Kellyanne Conway says Rep. Liz Cheney's comment earlier this week signaling that she may leave the GOP if Trump is the presidential nominee is "shocking.” And if she runs for President, Conway said Cheney could be a “spoiler.” @CBSNews Stream Prime Time
