LOL, Trump got over 80% of the vote. A new record for a primary in that state. Spin that anyway you want, but it is a major win for Trump.
Its either sad or hilarious how desperate the media is these days..... Im not sure
“Trump got over 80% of the vote.”
I remember Brit Hume pontificating on the Trump vote in New Hampshire. “He has got to get 80% of the Republican vote to say that he won,” or some such.
Trump got 84% of the votes and a “huge” vote against gets the headline. Obviously, 16% is much more huge at Newsweek than 84%.
“Trump got over 80% of the vote. A new record for a primary in that state. Spin that anyway you want, but it is a major win for Trump”.

PA was always going to be a nail biter. Trump could eke out a win by skillfully playing up the fracking / energy issue and possibly overcoming the massive fraud machine in Philly. That being said, Georgia is more troubling.
Georgia is a crucial must-win swing state in 2024, and 15.5% of Georgia Republican voters did not vote for Trump in the GOP primary, even though every other GOP candidate had dropped out of the race. He should have carried 98% of the vote.
I’m no fan of Nikki Haley, but her point was valid when she said Trump now needs to earn the votes of those GOP primary voters who have not supported him to date. I’m not sure he can do that in Georgia.
Brian Kemp won a tough gubernatorial race in 2022 going away. It would be ideal for Trump to ally himself with Kemp’s machine in Georgia, but instead he attempted to take Kemp out in the 2022 primary by running Perdue against him.
Trump has his MAGA base in Georgia, but there are also a significant number of Republicans and Independents who have no use for him. It remains to be seen if those voters can stomach voting for the corrupt and feeble Biden in November. If Trump were wise, he would act now to make peace with Kemp.
I will be glad to spin it. Trump also got many primary records in 2020 and it did not matter in the long run. Penn is a closed state and that is a significant protest vote against him. It will be very very close in Penn.
Biden received 140,000 more voted than Trump yesterday.
Trump had better figure out how to win the Haley voters, or he’s toast.
