From WaPo (paywalled):

The network of donors and activist groups led by conservative billionaire Charles Koch will oppose Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination, mounting a direct challenge to the former president’s campaign to win back the White House.

Here is another tidbit:

...with Seidel writing: “Lots of people are frustrated. But very few people are in a position to do something about it. AFP is. Now is the time to rise to the occasion.”

I find this interesting. I think a lot of Republicans have finally figured out that Trump is an albatross.

I also think that Trump can pretty much destroy their party if he chooses to do so.

If he runs and gets the the nomination despite their opposition, they will be left with an angry and damaged candidate.

If he runs and they manage to stop him, he can take his marbles (and his voters) and stay home. Assuming, of course, that he has any marbles left at that point.

My bet is that he will threaten for a while and then wind up not running, for whatever “reason.” At least, I think that's what the Republicans had better hope and pray happens.
