<p>Former national security adviser John Bolton said he thinks Republicans are looking for a “fresh face” to lead the party, becoming the latest former Trump ally to suggest the GOP move away from the former president.</p>
<p>Bolton, who served in the Trump White House from 2018 to 2019, pointed to Florida Gov. <a class="person-popover__link" href="https://thehill.com/people/ron-desantis/" _mce_href="https://thehill.com/people/ron-desantis/">Ron DeSantis </a>(R) as a possible contender in a recent interview with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/26/donald-trump-old-and-tired-john-bolton?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=edit_2221&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1669456867" _mce_href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/26/donald-trump-old-and-tired-john-bolton?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=edit_2221&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1669456867">The Guardian</a>.</p>
<p>“[DeSantis has] had a very successful run as governor of Florida. He won re-election on Nov. 8 with a big majority. A lot of people look to him as the next generation candidate,” Bolton said, according to The Guardian. “That’s one of Trump’s biggest problems – his act is old and tired now.”</p>
<p>Former President Trump officially announced his third bid for president earlier this month, in the face of pushback from within his own party.</p>
