The Washington Examiner’s Sarah Bedford revealed last night that there’s been a big ol’ switcheroo happening in the minds of voters who weren’t too keen on former President Donald Trump. Instead of hoppin’ on the Nikki Haley train, these folks are now shoutin’ “All aboard” for the Trump train!
Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, suffered a whoppin’ defeat in the Nevada Republican primary, losin’ to the “none of these candidates” category by more than a 2-1 margin. Bedford, the investigations editor for the Washington Examiner, spilled the tea on Fox News’s Fox News at Night, suggestin’ that Haley might have thought she could rope in Republicans who weren’t fans of Trump to win the 2024 nomination if she and Trump were the only GOP candidates. But oh no, that plan ain’t workin’ out too well!
Bedford also mentioned that Haley might be hangin’ around in the Republican primary ‘cause she thinks she’s got a better shot at takin’ down President Joe Biden than Trump does. But according to Bedford, the pollin’ data ain’t backin’ up that claim, with most folks thinkin’ Trump would give Biden a run for his money in a general election.
And when it comes to folks gettin’ a bit fed up with the Democratic Party, Bedford says it’s all thanks to a “broader political realignment” that’s been happenin’ since Trump came into the picture. She argues that Trump has managed to snag support from the working-class crowd, muckin’ things up for the Democrats.
Former Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon chimed in, callin’ the Republican Party “the party of the working class,” and labelin’ the Democratic Party as the one for “the elite.” Ouch, them’s fightin’ words!
As for Haley, after gettin’ smacked with the Nevada primary results, she posted up a statement that didn’t address the loss, but instead took a swipe at Republicans for stirrin’ up chaos. Yikes! Her home state of South Carolina is up next on Feb. 24, and if she takes another hit there, it might be lights out for her presidential dreams.
If Trump snags the Republican nomination again, it’s gonna be a showdown between him and Biden. And according to several polls, it’s lookin’ like folks are likin’ what Trump’s sellin’. One poll even showed that 55% of voters think Trump would handle the economy better than Biden, who only mustered up 33% of support. Looks like Trump’s got some wind in his sails!
So, there you have it, folks. Looks like the Trump train might just be pickin’ up steam, and Nikki Haley’s campaign might be in for a bumpy ride!
