by Axios | 8.25.19

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Il.) announced on ABC's \"This Week\" that he is launching a primary challenge to President Trump in 2020.

The big picture: Walsh laid the groundwork for a run at the presidency in a NY Times op-ed last week in which he stated the case for a contender from the right to challenge Trump. In the op-ed, Walsh said he gave Trump \"a fair hearing\" after voting for him in 2016, but he realized soon after he became president that he couldn’t support him.
