Those remarks weren’t just vintage Trump braggadocio. They’re likely also smart politics, as they provide an opening to win back some suburban voters that fled from him toward Biden in 2020. Sixty-seven percent of suburban residents were vaccinated as of August, according to a late summer NBC News poll. That was below the 79 percent of urban residents who got the vaccine, but well above the 52 percent of rural residents, where support for Trump runs deep. Even Biden gave credit to the Trump administration for the development of the Covid vaccine and for getting a booster shot.
It’s unclear that a pure anti-vaccine message is a winner in the 2024 Republican primary fight. Yes, vaccine opposition is highest among Republicans (along with young adults). But that still leaves millions of primary voters who got the vaccines. So Trump’s positioning could also further push DeSantis into fighting for a fringe of the GOP electorate rather than the broader coalition necessary to win the party’s 2024 presidential nomination.
Indeed, Virginia GOP Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin shows the potential for success with a middle-ground approach. The first-time candidate said on the campaign trail in the fall that he supports the Covid vaccine but opposes mask and vaccine mandates. He went on to beat former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe 50.6 percent to 48.6 percent, earning crucial support from swing voters that included younger Virginians, moderates, independents and white women, among others.
Trump’s digs against political rivals who won’t get boosters and his positive talk about vaccinations can easily be seen as cynical and craven calculations aimed not at helping humanity but in boosting his political interests. Still, whatever the motives, they’re right on the public health merits. Politically, they may also be effective

Oh no. Please don’t do this Trump. Please.
DESANTIS 2024.
Trump is making a yuge mistake.
5D chess probably
Where is the politician willing to openly reject the vax?
There are a few who will speak up against the mandates, but the vax itself?
Here we go again. Leftist corrupt media drives a wedge between Trump and DeSantis supporters, and conservatives fall for this stupid s—t like dogs to vomit.
Trumps a achilles heel. His mouth. Love what he did while in office but I wish he’d just shut up sometimes.
Between now and the Election in 2024 we would be on booster number 12 following the pro-booster crowd.
No. Pro-booster is not going to be a winner in 2024.
It will NOT pay off got Trump. Most of us agree with, and like, DeSantis on this stuff. Did Trump get his stupid advisors back?
The kooks absolutely love that message. So there's that.
Shelf-life expired. Go away Trump.
This screed is pure hogwash with a smattering of fake news...IMHO...
Looks more like a mistake, because it’s becoming more clear every day that the vaccines didn’t help stop the pandemic, especially the boosters now which are completely ineffective against current strains. Will be interesting to see how hard he campaigns for DeSantis’ re-election in 2022 now, if at all.
Trump needs to distinguish between his enemies and his friends, and if he views any potential rival for the nomination as an enemy, he’s going to alienate a lot of the folk whose support he needs.
Yup.
Trump has decided he will live or die on Vaccine Hill. Very disappointing.
It’s not a Booster it’s a third or forth or fifth shot
desantis 2022...
find someone else for 2024...
