“Biden also appeared weak against Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has an even bigger lead, 46%-38%.”
We all know that just like in 2020, the only way Biden can beat either Trump or DeSantis is through election fraud. The GOP has had three years to combat such fraud in conservative majority states, and several have refused to do so. Instead, they are too busy going on CNN and FOX to repeat the “most secure election ever” mantra. While at the same time constantly complaining about Trump and repeating the other narrative of his “debunked election fraud”claims.
The GOPe is too busy undermining their own election chances to even come up with an a message and election strategy for 2024. Independent conservative groups are doing more to combat election fraud and formulate a message than the RNC/GOP ever thought about doing.
Also, remember the GOPe practically falling on their fainting couches when the freedom caucus demanded concessions before voting for McCarthy as speaker. The ‘Oh I’m so concerned!” establishment members and consultants (along with many here) made the talking-heads’ circuit to insist it would do permanent damage to the party. Instead, it has helped McCarthy to develop a bit of a back bone and move a bit to the right. Those 20 should be celebrated instead of vilified.
