2024 is Evolving into a Trump vs. Not-Trump Election
By Steve McCann
Never in the two and a half centuries of American history has one person concurrently dominated and overshadowed both major political parties as does Donald J. Trump.
Trump’s dominance in the Republican Party is an outgrowth of his imperturbable and flamboyant personality, his unprecedented 2016 campaign and his overwhelmingly successful presidency which was derailed in its final months by the Covid-19 pandemic.
His stature in the party is such that virtually every Republican candidate for federal office seeks his approbation and endorsement. Despite losing in 2020, his hold on a sizable segment of the Republican base is unparalleled in the annals of the Republican party. Not since Franklin Roosevelt has someone so dominated a major American political party. As it stands today, per all the national polls, Trump can easily win the Republican nomination for president.
Among 30% of Republican primary voters Trump has achieved cult-like status, as these voters claim they would vote for him if he ran as an independent even if that meant Joe Biden would be re-elected and the Democrats would regain control of both Houses of Congress.
