DeSantis had 30% \u200csupport compared to Trump&#8217;s 45%.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2064 then something happened\u200c in April that completely changed the game. Trump&#8217;s support shot up by 10 percentage \u200bpoints, while \u200dDeSantis dropped by 8. And it wasn&#8217;t because of DeSantis&#8217;s Twitter\/X rollout with Elon Musk, which happened a month later.<\/p>\n<p>No,\u200c what really \u200bsealed the nomination for Trump was\u200b the \u2062unprecedented\u200c and \u200bflimsy indictment \u200bby Manhattan District Attorney Alvin \u200cBragg, accusing Trump of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-charges-brought-against-the-trump-organizations-cfo-part-of-a-witch-hunt-experts-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Are The Charges Brought Against The Trump Organization\u2019s CFO Part Of A Witch Hunt? Experts Weigh In\">falsifying business records<\/a>.&#8221; This \u2063was followed by more legal attacks from Democrats, including Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and\u200d special counsel \u200dJack Smith.<\/p>\n<p>All of these attacks were \u200dclearly politically\u2062 motivated,\u200c based on far-fetched legal theories.\u200c And they came at a\u2064 time when Biden&#8217;s Department of Justice \u2064was busy covering up the corrupt Biden family business.<\/p>\n<p>Even Republicans who were skeptical of \u200dTrump couldn&#8217;t ignore the blatant bias \u200cand unfairness of these attacks. They realized that they couldn&#8217;t let Democrats make the decision for them. They had to defend the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Some Republicans may have thought it was time for the party to move \u200don from Trump and embrace new leadership. But they weren&#8217;t\u200c going to\u2063 let Democrats dictate their choices, especially when they were turning a blind eye to Biden&#8217;s own wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>As Biden&#8217;s former\u2064 communications director admitted on CNN, the Biden White House actually wants Trump to be the nominee. They believe that running against \u2063Trump worked for Biden in 2020, but\u200b it failed Hillary\u200b Clinton in 2016. The question now is whether Biden has become as disliked as\u200b Clinton was back then.<\/p>\n<p>All signs point to yes.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Biden could\u200d present\u200d himself as a competent successor to President Barack Obama. But that image has crumbled.\u200d Biden has overseen a disastrous bout of inflation that has\u2062 left most workers worse off \u2062than when \u200che took office. The world is in chaos, with conflicts in\u2064 Ukraine and Israel, shipping lanes being terrorized by pirates, and a southern border that has been completely\u200b overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is now seen as old and incompetent in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous. He \u2063is not the\u2064 same brand that defeated Trump four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a terrible situation for voters. The majority \u200cof people don&#8217;t want to see a Trump \u200dvs. Biden rematch. But unfortunately, that&#8217;s where we are. The only silver lining \u200bis\u200b that in \u2064four\u2063 years, we will have at\u2063 least one new candidate to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The \u200bWashington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How did the attacks on \u2063Trump \u2063during his presidency\u2062 affect\u200b his support among his base?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c Sharman. \u2064These attacks only \u2064served to solidify Trump&#8217;s support among his base, who saw them as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/weaponization-of-government-panel-says-ftc-orchestrated-aggressive-campaign-to-harass-twitter\/\" title=\"Weaponization of Government Panel Says FTC Orchestrated \u2018Aggressive Campaign to Harass Twitter\u2019\">politically motivated attempts<\/a> to undermine \u2063his presidency and \u200dtarnish \u2062his reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the poll \u2064average chart, it&#8217;s clear that after these attacks, Trump&#8217;s \u2064support not\u2064 only bounced\u2063 back but also continued to \u200cclimb \u2063steadily. By the end of May, he had reached 55% support, while\u2063 DeSantis had fallen to just 20%.<\/p>\n<p>This is significant because it shows that despite facing intense legal scrutiny, Trump&#8217;s base remains\u200b loyal \u2064and unwavering. They see him as a\u2064 strong and decisive leader who is willing to take\u200b on the establishment and fight for their interests.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting aspect\u2064 of the chart is the performance of other potential candidates. For \u2064example, former Vice President Mike Pence&#8217;s support remained relatively steady \u200bthroughout the time \u2064period, hovering around 10%.\u2062 This suggests that while Pence may be a popular figure within the party, he lacks the charisma and appeal to \u200dchallenge Trump&#8217;s hold on the\u2062 nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, other prominent figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Rand Paul struggled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liz-cheney-says-shes-not-ruling-out-2024-presidential-run\/\" title=\"Liz Cheney open to 2024 presidential bid.\">gain significant \u2063support<\/a>, with both of them barely\u2063 reaching 5% at their peak. This highlights the difficulty of breaking through in a crowded and competitive field, especially when facing a political heavyweight \u2063like\u200d Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the RealClearPolitics 2024 Republican presidential nomination poll average chart provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the \u2064race. It shows that Trump&#8217;s support remains strong despite legal challenges, while other contenders face \u2064an uphill battle in gaining traction.
