Former TX @GovernorPerry just told us he is looking at another run for president in 2024. He declined to throw his support behind Trump.

During our interview… Perry also denied sending a text urging the Trump team to try to undermine the 2020 election results. That text was part of the Jan. 6 investigation. https://t.co/gHX6N452aM

Admittedly, dropping this huge news to CNN ‘journalist’ Jim Acosta was an um … interesting choice. To be fair, CNN has made big news in the GOP Presidential primary world this last week after hosting the Trump Town Hall.

There is no contest in my mind

Rick Perry – our former Republican Governor of Texas and a past Energy Secretary – is one of those men I trust with this nations future – absolute trust /

No doubt –

He will create a great conflict for me if he decides to run in 2024 / I’m a…

Former Republican Governor of Texas Rick Perry has said he might be interested in a 2024 run@RickPerryDaily

That is a game changer for me – he has the maturity and experience to be a great President – I trust Rick Perry to lead us out of the Biden mess –

He just wants more speech bookings and possibly a book. Running for President shouldn’t be just a book tour. https://t.co/74ChmVdtO4

Those with long memories will remember when Perry ran for President in 2012 and had a famous debate gaffe that stopped his burgeoning campaign in its tracks.

I have no idea who would vote for Rick Perry. Elderly Republicans in Texas, maybe? https://t.co/UN46vvyhn5

Texas is a very big state with no major contenders thus far. Maybe it could work?

Rick Perry thinking of running for the 2024 GOP nomination. The man who got a "D" in a class called Meats. Who Trump put in charge of nukes. But this will sure as hell get my vote. pic.twitter.com/s1xIonB9S0

One tweep with a very long memory reminded Twitter of Perry’s brief time on Dancing with the Stars. Good times indeed, and he was a great sport.

Rick Perry is still alive?

Yes, It is confirmed Rick Perry is still very much alive and we may start seeing much more of him very soon. Stay tuned!
