kinzinger, mr. trump says if elected he might pardon those at the u.s. capitol. if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly. reporter: alex, most republican operatives and strategists will tell you they wish their leaders would stop talking about the 2020 election. they wish heading into the next election republicans were able to focus publicly on these bread and butter issues like the economy, education, that worked so well, for example, for glenn youngkin in that governor s race in virginia. the republican on republican attacks everyone is trying to game out, is trump going to run again in 2024, would he challenge trump in a primary contest. all of that setting the stage for what could be a really really bruising republican primary in 2024. alex. but again, the parlor games in d.c. are pretty darn fun. thank you very much, josh lederman for that.
