Joe Concha: Elon’s ‘America Party’ Could Lead to Speaker Jeffries and Trump Impeachment

ASMAN: “Now, Elon, of course, has responded to all of this, Elon Musk, by suggesting he’s going to start a new American party. Listen to what President Trump had to say about that. Roll it.”

Trump: “I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system. And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

ASMAN: “Well, third parties have never worked, but they could act as spoilers as they did in 1992.”
CONCHA: “That’s right, Ross Perot we’re talking about. Bill Clinton won the presidency with just —“
ASMAN: “Yeah.
CONCHA: “— 43 percent of the popular vote. So this party that Elon Musk is attempting to launch, David, it’s not going to get one representative elected to Congress. But what it may do, given the amount of money that Musk can pour into it, he can move a one-point Republican victory. And let’s face it, a lot of these congressional races come down to one, two points in most of the country. His move can take a one-point Republican victory and make it a one-point victory for a Democrat, and therefore, think of the margins that are currently in the House of Representatives. You could have Hakeem Jeffries as your next House Speaker and then perpetual impeachments of Donald Trump. So yeah, this could do some damage to the Republican Party. And that’s what Musk appears to be doing at this point, just trying to play the spoiler instead of actually offering a solution, an alternative that people can actually get into office with.”
ASMAN: “Yeah, not very constructive. Joe, thank you so much. Good to see you on this Monday. Appreciate you coming in.”
