During an appearance on “The Axe Files with David Axelrod,” former Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer (R) danced around whether he would vote for Donald Trump in 2024, when just a few months ago he responded “I have no idea how I would do that” to the same question in an interview with Politico.

Meijer was elected to represent Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District in 2020, but he only served one term in that position. Following the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, just three days after Meijer took office, Meijer was among the 10 Republicans who broke from the GOP and voted to impeach then-President Trump for inciting the violent riot.

Trump subsequently endorsed Meijer’s primary opponent John Gibbs in 2022, who propagated much of the former president’s election-denying rhetoric. Gibbs narrowly defeated Meijer by less than 4,000 votes in Michigan’s August primary last year. But during the midterm elections, Gibbs lost the seat to Democrat Hillary Scholten during a state-wide blue wave in Michigan.

After his defeat, Meijer seemed to continue his criticism of the former president when he sat down to talk with Politico in December. Interviewer Adam Wren specifically asked Meijer if he would vote for Trump if he made it to the general election in 2024, to which Meijer responded, “I have no idea how I would do that.” He then clarified:

“Yeah. I want someone to demonstrate a track record of being able to win,” Meijer continued. “Hillary Clinton was probably the worst Democratic nominee of my lifetime. If he was outlining a positive agenda and speaking of the things that were started and hoping to be complete, if his message was about pointing the country in a better direction, it would be very different than what we have right now, which is just like the pettiest of petty grievances. I think he had a very negative impact on both candidates in competitive seats. I think there’s a constructive role that he could be playing, and I have yet to see him make an effort, so to hell with it.”

Despite this seemingly staunch stance against the former president, Meijer changed his tune with a hypothetical Senate run in mind. Axelrod directly asked Meijer if he would vote for Trump if he were the nominee, to which Meijer said, “Who is he running against?”

Earlier in the interview, the 35-year-old superstore heir also refused to disclose if he would run for either his former Congressional seat or the opening Senate seat in Michigan. U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D) and Michigan State Board of Education member Nikki Snyder (R) has already declared their candidacies for the Senate seat.
