Fox News host Laura Ingraham said on Monday that American voters are "exhausted" from political conflict and might believe it's "time to turn the page" on former President Donald Trump if he runs for the White House in 2024, according to Business Insider.
While Ingraham still spoke in favor of Trump's policies and defended his decisions, the longtime vocal supporter of the former president signaled some doubt about whether Republican voters would choose Trump in favor of another strong GOP candidate.
"People conflate Trump with people's overall sense of happiness in the country. Donald Trump's been a friend of mine for 25 years, and I'm always very open about this on my show," Ingraham said on a podcast hosted by Lisa Boothe, a Fox News contributor.
"But, you know, we'll see whether that's what the country wants," Ingraham continued. "The country, I think, is so exhausted — they're exhausted by the battle, the constant battle — that they may believe that, well, maybe it's time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all of Trump's policies, who's not Trump."
Ingraham said that Trump's political views — not the man himself — were at the heart of his political opponents' stance.
The Fox News host accused left-wing proponents of thinking that "the American way of life is immoral," which is in line with the typical right-wing and pro-Trump rhetoric that many traditional customs and values in the US are under attack by liberals.
