Trump Still In Control Of GOP? Kinda.
The prospect of a Donald Trump presidential run has frozen out many potential candidates. (Politico)
Donald Trump announced his 2024 ambitions early and that appears to have forced many potential challengers to rethink jumping into Presidential contender ring. After the disastrous 2022 midterms, President Trump’s approval within the GOP was dampened but on the same token if his prominence in the party was truly that diminished more people would have come forward to challenge him. That has not happened which may point to his lasting legacy of total control over his party.
