Donald Trump holds 49-point lead over Ron DeSantis in TennesseeWashington Examiner, Jul 6, 2023
Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the Republican nomination for president by a landslide in Tennessee next year, with a 49-point lead over challenger Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as of June.
A new poll released this week by the Beacon Center showed Trump dominating the southern state with 61% of the vote over DeSantis's 12%, and Trump beating President Joe Biden in a 2024 matchup in the state by more than 20 points.
"These primary results reflect what we've seen in national polls for months, that a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is the most likely scenario in 2024," Beacon spokesman Mark Cunningham said in a statement. "It is interesting that Trump fares substantially better against Biden than Ron DeSantis does, and the change came almost exclusively from Republican voters who say they would vote for Trump as their nominee but would not vote at all if DeSantis were the nominee."
