With less than four months until the first nominating contest, many Republicans are saying more directly that they expect Trump will lead the ticket next year. Even some of his critics are moving toward that conclusion.
Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota is backing his home-state governor Doug Burgum’s long shot bid for president. But he believes Donald Trump will be the nominee.
How Trump’s legal problems would factor into a general election is a variable that worries some Republicans. In some parts of the party, including factions of the U.S. Senate and among some wealthy donors, there is less palpable enthusiasm for Trump. And while many in the party have all but concluded Trump will be their nominee, some see a more fluid race and are still optimistic that one of his GOP rivals can catch him with a lengthy campaign stretch yet to come.
A Trump adviser said that Trump and McCarthy had not spoken in the days since the speaker’s Fox News interview. The adviser and another campaign official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak more candidly about the race, suggested the former president isn’t taking the primary for granted, but noted that he is gearing up for a rematch with President Biden.
“Given how strong he ended up being in ’16, it’s hard not to look at the contours of the race and say he’s even better off than he was eight years ago,” Roe said.Trump’s opponents have attacked him on a range of fronts, with no one message appearing to break through sharply with Republican voters. DeSantis said in a recent interview with ABC News that Trump is a different candidate than he was in 2015 and that his recent criticism of a six-week abortion ban in Florida was a “big mistake.
