Some conservative voices and donors are looking to move beyond former President Donald Trump in the wake of the FBI’s August raid on Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, viewing it as the latest controversy to distract from making the case against President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
The New York Post argued in a recent editorial that focusing on Trump rather than the Democrats would hurt Republicans in the midterm elections. His rebound in 2024 polls of GOP primary voters could do the same in two years.
The Mar-a-Lago raid is different from past controversies, a former senior Trump campaign operative said. “Part of this is what they’re calling a Trump fatigue, where privately, they’re telling the president, ‘We get it, you’ve been a target since Day One, all you wanted to do was govern the country, we like your policies, we’re with you in spirit, we know you’re getting screwed,’” the operative said. “But it’s a cost-benefit analysis.
The New York Post’s board, which endorsed Trump in 2020, has several times described him as"unworthy" and touted as viable Republican alternatives to Trump possible 2024 presidential hopefuls such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.The shift has drawn pushback from supporters who say Republicans trying to steer the party in a new direction fail to understand the former president’s appeal.
Trump faces headwinds on that path, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll published on Thursday.
