Former Attorney General Bill Barr says it is hard to imagine a scenario where he would not vote for the 2024 Republican nominee, even it is former President Donald Trump.

During an interview on NBC’s “Today,” Barr was asked by host Savannah Guthrie, “You say in your book it’s time for the party to move on from Trump. Liz Cheney has said he is not fit to serve and should not be ever near the Oval Office again. Do you agree with that?”

“I certainly have made it clear I don’t think he should be our nominee, and I’m going to support somebody else for the nomination,” Barr responded.

When Guthrie asked if he would vote for Trump if he wins the nomination, Barr said, “Because I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party, it’s inconceivable to me that I wouldn’t vote for the Republican nominee.”

“So even if he lied about the election and threatened democracy as you write in your book, better than a Democrat?” Guthrie asked.

Barr responded, “It’s hard to project what the facts are gonna turn out to be three years hence, but as of now, it’s hard for me to conceive that I wouldn’t vote for the Republican nominee.”

In an excerpt of his book obtained by The Washington Post, Barr reportedly says that Trump “has shown he has neither the temperament nor persuasive powers.”

He resigned as attorney general in December 2020. He praised Trump’s accomplishments “in the face of relentless, implacable resistance.”

At the time, Trump claimed Barr had “done an outstanding job” and that “our relationship has been a very good one.”

But last year, he labeled his former attorney general a “disappointment in every sense of the word.”
