  • A number of former close allies have turned against Donald Trump.
  • They include his former Vice-President, Secretary of State, and Attorney General.

On the eve of November's midterm elections, Donald Trump was bullish as he readied himself to launch his bid to win back the presidency in 2024.

He was poised to take credit for what many believed would be sweeping Republican successes in the midterms, and was stepping up attacks on President Joe Biden and Republican rivals.

But as the end of the year approaches, Trump's political status has taken a serious blow — and it's former allies and senior officials who are leading calls for the Republican Party to choose a different 2024 candidate or risk defeat.

Below, Insider reviews the former allies who are stepping up their attacks on Trump as the 2024 primaries approach.
