President Trump's 2020 campaign made it clear on Tuesday that it wasn't worried about a primary challenge by the former governor of Massachusetts, Bill Weld. When CBS News asked how seriously the campaign was taking Weld's candidacy, the Trump campaign's press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, said, "Not seriously at all." McEnany pointed to both the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Republican voters' support for the president. After Weld announced his candidacy on Monday, the RNC painted the challenge — along with any others that might arise — as fruitless. McEnany discounted the possibility that Weld would get to debate Trump on TV, saying that the 2020 campaign wasn't even entertaining the idea.
