Former Rep. Joe Walsh, Illinois Republican and now a talk-radio host, has become more critical of Mr. Trump (he recently called him a “racial arsonist”) and wants to appeal to conservative looking for a Trump alternative. Citing “two people who have spoken to him,” the Times reported that he has “hired a senior political adviser, organized meetings with high-profile Trump antagonists in New York City, and published an Op-Ed in The New York Times with the goal of previewing his campaign message.” Mr. Walsh, who served one term in the U.S. House, was coy to the Times when asked directly about running, answering in the conditional tense. “If I do it, it’s going to be before Labor Day,” he said.
