National Review Senior Writer David French, who tried to challenge Trump as an independent in 2016, made his feelings known.

Terrible news. https://t.co/Lv2mUvTtX5

But among the sadness, there were some figures looking at the moment as something bigger.

Within minutes of the announcement, figures in the #NeverTrump movement, some with close ties to Evan McMullin, who challenged Trump in 2016, hinted at a 2020 presidential run.

Emily Matthews, who is the Media Manager for Stand Up Republic, a group founded by McMullin, encouraged Haley to run for president in 2020.

She followed up her speculation with a series of Tweets making her case as to why she should run.

“Classical Liberal” commentator Dave Rubin, who is close friends with Ben Shapiro, expressed his optimism for a possible Haley run in the future.

Not sure what’s going on here but if it somehow paves the way for her eventual presidential run then all good… pic.twitter.com/goMcCs9Wl6

There’s no telling what will happen going forward. The Trump presidency has been unpredictable.

Haley has been one of those unpredictable appointments, considering her neocon belief system doesn’t fit well with President Trump’s America First populism.

Only time will tell, but looking at the use of the #Haley2020 hashtag on Twitter, calls for her to run in 2020 aren’t going away soon.

Secret Service agents have told Dan Bongino that President Joe Biden’s mental faculties are in “bad shape.”

The conservative commentator and ex-Secret Service agent broke the news on Wednesday night’s episode of “Hannity.”

“Sean, again, it gives me absolutely no joy in saying this, and I mean that. He is in real, significant trouble, Joe Biden. And listen to me, everyone around him, everyone knows it. Everyone knows it. This is the scandal that they’re not telling you…” Bongino said.

Bongino added that “they call it the Secret Service for a reason, but I maintain a lot of contacts outside of even law enforcement. And I’m telling you from what I’ve heard from people in my network, everyone knows how bad it is. Everyone. It’s not a mystery. It is the worst-kept secret in the White House and how they can—think about this. We are not only in the second month of this, how bad is this going to be four years from now? This is a serious problem. This is not a joke.”

This lends credence to what many conservatives already figured to be true. However, it is unclear to what extent Biden’s weakened mental faculties are inhibiting his ability to carry out his many presidential duties. It’s possible that his mental health could debilitate to the point where he’d have to decline the 2024 nomination, but only time—and perhaps a willingness on the part of the White House to be transparent—will tell.
