There appears to be an acknowledgment in Trump’s approach now that he can’t win the general election without expanding his reach outside the overlapping Venn diagram circles of his existing base and the Republican electorate.
— at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, New Hampshire, late last month.
In essence, according to advisers and allies, Trump is returning to the anti-establishment themes of his successful 2016 bid for the presidency that rallied voters to slay the favorite totems, orthodoxies and candidates of both parties. Trump’s shift away from acting like the standard-bearer of the party comes after a year in which he waded into countless GOP primary contests, promoting some candidates who aligned with the Republican establishment and some who did not. He was able to knock out many of his loudest Republican critics, including then-Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Tom Rice, R-S.C.
“I will protect, unlike DeSanctus, Social Security and Medicare for our great seniors, defending them from both the radical left and the Paul Ryan-Republican establishment,” Trump said, referring to DeSantis by a nickname and to Ryan, the former House speaker from Wisconsin. The spokesperson for the DeSantis-aligned Never Back Down super PAC picked up that ball and ran with it.
“There are probably people that I wouldn’t be very happy about endorsing who are running, so we’ll see,” Trump said when asked about a Republican National Committee proposal to require candidates to sign a loyalty pledge in order to participate in debates.
