“As far as Trump goes, I hope he doesn’t run,” Joe O’Dea told the radio show. “I don’t want to see him as president.” O’Dea continued: “I think a lot of people are ready to move our country forward. So I wouldn’t support him running again.” The construction company executive also slammed Biden, calling him “the worst president we’ve ever had.” “Look, I don’t think Biden should run for president, and he’s senile,” O’Dea said. “We’re done with this.” O’Dea, who will run against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (D) in November, advanced from his June 28 primary with a victory over Trump-aligned Ron Hanks. Hanks was present near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, leading to the deadly attack on the building in protest of Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, although he reportedly did not participate in the riot. O’Dea disagreed with him about the integrity of the 2020 election, saying Biden won fairly. House looks set to tackle climate, taxes, health care bill next Friday Biden on Griner case: ‘I’m optimistic. We work hard’ O’Dea has voiced his support for potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. “There is a lot of talent out there. We have to move this country forward,” O’Dea said of the Republican figures, adding, “I think seeing a Biden-Trump rematch again in 2024 would tear the country apart.” The candidate previously said he would vote for Trump if he were opposed to Biden, saying “if Donald Trump happens to be the Republican nominee, then I’m definitely not going to vote for Biden.”
