Despite losing the House, the White House, the Senate, and governor&#8217;s mansions, being impeached twice, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-very-invisible-republican-primary\/\" title=\"GOP Primary: The Invisible Race\">facing multiple legal challenges<\/a>, Trump remains the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.<\/p>\n<h3>The Invisible Primary<\/h3>\n<p>So why is Trump doing so well? The answer may lie in the lack of resistance he&#8217;s facing from his fellow Republicans. This has been a truly invisible primary, with no serious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pentagon-orders-military-wide-stand-down-to-address-white-supremacy-extremism-in-ranks\/\" title=\"Pentagon Orders Military-Wide \u2018Stand-Down\u2019 To Address \u2018White Supremacy,\u2019 Extremism In Ranks\">internal threats<\/a> to Trump&#8217;s candidacy. Historically, frontrunners come under attack from their rivals, but this year it&#8217;s as if we have two incumbent presidents in the race.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s closest rival, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, has not been able to gain ground despite his book rollout, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-dismisses-2024-polling-decline-against-trump-im-not-a-candidate\/\" title=\"DeSantis shrugs off 2024 poll slump for Trump: 'I'm not in the running'\">international trade mission<\/a>, and successful legislative session. DeSantis has tried to out-MAGA Trump on foreign policy and the culture war, but his current approach is not working. His reluctance to confront the frontrunner has created a weird situation in which Trump inadvertently delivers the arguments both for and against his candidacy.<\/p>\n<h3>The Democrats&#8217; Strategy<\/h3>\n<p>The Democrats understand that Joe Biden&#8217;s best chance for a second term is to remobilize the anti-Trump coalition. If Republican challengers won&#8217;t say why Donald Trump should be denied the presidency, Democrats will. Contrasts will be drawn, memories will be jogged, and fears will be revived.<\/p>\n<h3>The Road Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s still early in the game, and both the primary and general contests are a long way away. However, early GOP frontrunners tend to win the nomination, and Biden&#8217;s age and economic record are reasons for Democrats to worry. It&#8217;s at least plausible that a Republican could consolidate college-educated GOP voters and make inroads into Trump&#8217;s non-college coalition, especially if that Republican narrows the field to two candidates. First, though, that Republican would have to explain why he or she should be the nominee instead of Trump.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Donald Trump remains the leader for the 2024 Republican nomination<\/li>\n<li>Trump faces no serious internal threats to his candidacy<\/li>\n<li>DeSantis has not been able to gain ground despite his efforts to out-MAGA Trump<\/li>\n<li>Democrats will draw contrasts and revive fears in the general election<\/li>\n<li>A Republican challenger would have to explain why they should be the nominee instead of Trump<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump won the presidency by the seat of his pants in 2016.
