 Trump skips past primaries to general election
by Brett Samuels - 09/21/23 6:00 AM ET

The Iowa caucuses are still more than four months away, but former President Donald Trump already appears to have one eye toward a general election rematch with President Biden.

Trump’s words and actions are that of a candidate less concerned with his primary rivals, who trail him by a wide margin in nearly every state and national poll, and more focused on attacking Biden and winning over voters in key swing states.

Ford O’Connell, a Florida-based Republican strategist, said Trump has “the freedom to do what he thinks is best” with his campaign thanks to his significant lead in primary polls, and national polls that show him in a close hypothetical rematch with Biden.

“Trump is running the race as if this is going to be himself and Joe Biden in November of 2024,” O’Connell said. “And anyone who’s being honest will tell you that’s the right way to go, barring a seismic moment or shift or anything else.”

 "That's a bold move, Cotton. Lets see how it plays out."

Maj. Bill Martin:
Strategically, it's the right move to win the primary.  It's also the wrong move for the general election, but Trump isn't exactly a long-term thinker.
