CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger expressed disappointment at former President Donald Trump’s momentum in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race, particularly in light of Senator Tim Scott’s endorsement of Trump ahead of the New Hampshire primary.
Kinzinger criticized Scott’s decision, questioning its implications for character and soul.
He also described Trump as a masterful manipulator and expressed concern over the momentum Trump has gained.
“I never expected this from Tim. I know him as a decent man, somebody concerned about character. He chose to put himself and his political career above others,” Kinzinger said.
Democracy is at stake, folks. Trump as the GOP nominee means more violence, more division; we've seen it before, we'll see it again. If we want our kids and grandkids to inherit a republic, New Hampshire needs to show up in the GOP primary. #StopTrump #NHPrimary pic.twitter.com/4ZSzRLs4fu

“Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott to the Senate. She made him a U.S. Senator where he could then become a national figure and then launch his campaign for president that failed. He could have waited until after New Hampshire.”
“There is something going on in people’s soul where it’s like, as the Bible says, what is it to gain the whole world but lose your soul? There are people just wanting to gain the world right now and Donald Trump has done a masterful job of convincing people they can’t stand up against him so they won’t,” he said.
“Donald Trump is a masterful victim. He is actully one of the weakest manyo will eve5 meet. He’s somebody that is scared of his own shadow and he’s frankly scared of everybody but he puts up a really good front that he’s not and he puts up what appears to be a tough front. It cajoles people like Tim Scott to not even wait until after New Hampshire,” Kinzinger added.
“Give Nikki a chance to take it to New Hampshire. I don’t think it will affect her too much in New Hampshire. It shows the momentum that Donald Trump has been doing, I’ll objectively say, a good job of showing momentum and it is actually pretty disheartening.”
