The Colorado Republican Senate candidate said on “The Ross Kaminsky Show” on Friday that he hopes neither President Biden nor former President Trump run for president in 2024.
“As for Trump, I hope he doesn’t run,” Joe O’Dea said on the radio show. “I don’t want to see him as president.
O’Dea continued: “I think a lot of people are ready to move our country forward. So I wouldn’t support him running again.”
The construction company executive also slammed Biden, calling him “the worst president we’ve ever had.”
“Look, I don’t think Biden should run for president, and he’s senile,” O’Dea said. “We’re done with that.”
O’Dea, who will run against incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (D) in November, advanced from his June 28 primary with a victory against Trump supporter Ron Hanks.
Hanks was present near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, leading to the deadly attack on the building in protest of Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, although he was allegedly not involved in the riot.
O’Dea disagreed with him about the integrity of the 2020 election, saying Biden won fairly.

O’Dea has expressed support for potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
“There is a lot of great talent. We have to move this country forward,” O’Dea said of Republican figures, adding, “I think seeing a rematch between Biden and Trump in 2024 is going to tear the country apart.”
The nominee previously indicated he would vote for Trump if he were to go up against Biden, saying that “if Donald Trump happens to be the Republican nominee, then I’m definitely not going to vote for Biden.”
