Joe Walsh will mount a first offer against Trump "absolutely unfit"

CHICAGO – Flame-retaining Conservative host and former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh tries to challenge President Donald Trump in a Republican primary, calling the president "improper head diviner" and claiming the alternative party .

Walsh told POLITICO on Wednesday that he was confident he could get the resources and support needed to launch a challenge against the president, and that if he showed up, he would announce shortly. While Walsh Wednesday did not yet want to confirm his entry into the primary, two sources who spoke with him claimed that he had privately confirmed that he would announce his candidacy for the presidency this weekend.

"If I do, it will happen soon," Walsh told POLITICO on Wednesday. "I've been really surprised by the concerns of people from all over the spectrum who want this president to have a challenge, because there's just a real concern that he's absolutely unfit." . "

Walsh is unlikely to pose a real threat to Trump, who has light years in fundraising and whose favorability remains strong with Republicans, poll after poll.

He was elected in 2010 as part of the Tea Party movement and served a term. Initially a strong supporter of Trump, he became a steadfast critic of the president and described it as a "danger to this country".

When asked on Wednesday if he could get financial resources to fight Trump's treasure chest, Walsh replied, "Abso-freaking-lutely. Many people are beating drums for those who want to do it. "

Walsh says that through the conversations he has had, he could get financial support "at all levels".

"I think if there is an alternative, the money will follow," said Walsh.
