“I certainly think there’s significant influence from the former president and I think that influence probably hurt the party and hurt the party’s chances on Election Day in Massachusetts and elsewhere,” Baker told Tapper. “One of the big lessons that the Republican Party nationally needs to take away from it is voters want collaborative elected officials, they don’t want extremes.”

Governor Charlie Baker

In a rare cable news interview on CNN, Baker urged his party to ditch Donald Trump ahead of the former president's expected 2024 campaign launch.
