USA (bbabo.net), - Former US President Donald Trump is strengthening his position in the presidential race, says Americanist Malek Dudakov.
In recent polls, Trump is over 20% ahead of Ron DeSantis in the Republican primary. Trump has raised a record $36 million in donations, and he is actively recruiting sponsors of other candidates, Dudakov writes on his Telegram channel.
Republicans in Congress are rallying around Trump, he said. Already 60 congressmen and senators have supported Trump in the election. For comparison, DeSantis is supported by only three legislators. And even in his native Florida, most congressmen sided with Trump.
A big dispute between Trump and DeSantis arose on the topic of abortion, the expert recalled. DeSantis, a social conservative Catholic, has restricted abortions in Florida after the sixth week of pregnancy. Trump, on the other hand, considers this a losing strategy in the elections and does not want to touch the abortion agenda in any way.
“Trump’s associates in Congress in court forced Attorney Alvin Bragg to appear to testify. Bragg will be forced to explain why he turned the Manhattan prosecutor's office into an instrument of political struggle with opponents. If he is also caught on inaccuracies, then they may try to initiate a case against the prosecutor himself - for giving false testimony, ”Dudakov notes.
There are also more good polls for Trump in the confrontation with Joe Biden. In the latest Harvard poll, Trump leads Biden by 4% to 45% to 41%. And Kamalu Harris - even by 10%.
“Many Democrats have written Trump off the books, believing he can be broken by prosecutorial pressure. But for now, this only strengthens the Trump campaign, which is on its way to victory in the primaries and has a chance to become president of the United States again, ”Dudakov said.
