BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024.
Some conservative groups also released polling — very soon after the midterm results — showing DeSantis beating Trump in early presidential primary states and places like Texas.But Trump's hold on the GOP base can't be underestimated. There have been other moments when the"fever" might break, but never has — not with criticizing the late-Republican Sen.
He may have won the presidential election in 2016, but several swing states were very close, and he wound up losing the popular vote by 3 million votes.After four years of his presidency that saw majorities of voters disapproving of the job he was doing consistently and mishandling the coronavirus pandemic, Trump lost his reelection bid in 2020.Instead of conceding, and with no other off ramp to explain away his loss, Trump retrenched and cried fraud.
Courts have proven the 2020 election was fair and that there was very little fraud, certainly not enough to overturn the results anywhere.Despite that, Trump made his false narrative of a stolen election something of a litmus test for those he would endorse in these midterms. They bought in, were boosted in primaries and many lost in the general election, giving seats to Democrats that might have been won by non-election-denying Republicans.
