Ex-Massachusetts governor takes step to challenge Trump for GOP nod

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld announced Friday he has launched an exploratory committee for a possible 2020 primary challenge against President Trump.

Weld is the first person to take a serious step towards challenging Mr. Trump from within his own party. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, also a Republican, also hasn't ruled out challenging the president for the White House.

Weld ran for vice president on the Libertarian Party ticket in 2016.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
