New challenges for Trump regarding 2024 election.
The results of a new survey indicate the emergence of new challenges for the former US president in the 2024 presidential election, both in the primary and the main stage.
Nearly half of potential Republican voters have said in a poll that they will vote for someone other than Donald Trump in the intra-party phase of the 2024 presidential election.
In the results of a survey conducted jointly by the New York Times and Siena College, 49 percent of those who intend to participate in the intra-party phase to choose the Republican Party candidate in the 2024 election said that they will vote for Trump.
However, 46 percent of respondents said they would vote for one of Trump’s other rivals. Among Trump’s rivals, Ron DeSantis is the main competitor with 25%.
The Bloomberg News Network website wrote in a report on Tuesday that this survey indicates the decline of Donald Trump’s influence on the Republican Party.
According to this report, young voters and people with college degrees said they would vote for someone other than Trump in the intra-party election. The results show that the majority of the votes of this group will go to DeSantis.
Only hours after the publication of this poll, he criticized the New York Times by publishing a statement saying that this newspaper is “fake news”.
Trump said: “Fake polls, fake reports and manipulated quotes – these are a disgrace to journalism and have held us back for years. “The New York Times is really the enemy of the people.”
In the last 18 months since Joe Biden became the President of the United States, Trump has spent much of his political attention criticizing those in the Republican Party who did not support his campaign to undermine the 2020 election.
In a new poll, three-quarters of Republican voters said Trump simply exercised his right to challenge the election results. But nearly a fifth of voters also said that Trump’s actions threatened American democracy.
