Donald Trump’s Race to Lose: Growing Frustration Over His Potential Setbacks

Five Prominent Trump Backers Who Have Shifted Their Support to DeSantis

There are two key points to consider about the current presidential race:

  1. Kamala Harris is currently benefiting from a honeymoon period, largely due to substantial media enthusiasm for her candidacy.
  2. Harris’s improved polling numbers are primarily attributed to Democratic voters rallying behind her, rather than a surge in support from independent voters.

If the election were held today, it would be extremely close. While Harris is leading Donald Trump in a direct head-to-head matchup, Trump has the advantage on key issues. In response, Harris and her team, perhaps overconfident, have introduced an economic plan that combines price controls with additional handouts, which could exacerbate inflation. Her proposals do little to address the inflation problem effectively or immediately.

Republicans are concerned because Trump has struggled to stay on message. His behavior has been erratic since the assassination attempt (a situation that would unsettle anyone), resulting in several disjointed public appearances.

Democrats are feeling more optimistic than they did with Biden as the candidate, though their confidence may exceed their actual feelings. A POLITICO piece, resembling a DNC-sponsored write-up, suggests that Democrats are eager to campaign with Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, and that swing House seats have become competitive. However, the party’s most vulnerable candidates are avoiding the Democratic National Convention this week.

If Senators Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Jon Tester (Montana), and Jacky Rosen (Nevada) are staying away, it’s likely due to the progressive nature of the Harris-Walz ticket, which might not appeal to moderate voters.

This situation highlights that the race remains a toss-up, even though, under normal circumstances, it should be Trump’s to lose. Harris’s recent speech outlining progressive policies inadvertently helped the Trump campaign by acknowledging rising prices during her tenure, with Biden branding the administration as the “Biden-Harris administration,” implying shared responsibility for the current issues.

To capitalize on this, Trump needs to maintain focus, which has been challenging. Republicans are concerned about his lack of message discipline.

What we’re hearing:
“I hear a great deal of frustration from supporters,” one House Republican told Axios, speaking anonymously about Trump’s campaign rhetoric. “We are all hoping that he will focus more,” added the lawmaker, who has publicly endorsed Trump.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a Trump supporter trying to retain a district Biden won in 2020, said Harris’s progressive Senate voting record “should be the message every day.”

Another House Republican told Axios about Trump’s current difficulties: “If he doesn’t have message discipline, and he doesn’t focus on the sh*t we need to be focused on right now, it’s not going to pass.”

This also has implications for down-ballot races. Republicans might retain the House but are expected to face challenges in the Senate. While a gain of around 56 seats was anticipated, current trends suggest that 52 seats might be more realistic. This should be a favorable year for the GOP, but enthusiasm among Democrats and issues at the top of the Republican ticket are causing concern.

As mentioned earlier this week: Trump has his base but needs to focus on winning undecided, independent voters. Harris has made this task easier with her economic policies and recorded proposals, but Trump must remain disciplined between now and November.
