Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Doug Burgum… three Republicans are preparing to launch their race for the White House this week, joining a growing crowd of candidates favoring Donald Trump.
Unlike in 2016, when he won the Republican nomination and caused a billionaire scare, the former president is walking around looking to vote this time around in the next election. But the logic remains: A Republican primary with more than a dozen candidates is eager to block the way for the septuagenarian, which could ultimately lead to a dispersal of votes in favor of the former reality TV star.
Christie attacks Trump head-on
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an unsuccessful 2016 candidate, is expected to enter the field Tuesday. Former adviser to Donald Trump ends sexual relationship after attack on Capitol Donald Trump seems so inclined to launch attacks that some are reluctant to launch at the risk of offending his brand, his platform.
“This is Putin’s puppet,” Chris Christie began after Donald Trump’s more ambiguous comments on the war in Ukraine. He also doesn’t hesitate to mock the recently impeached former president for his multiple affairs. “By relentlessly attacking Trump, Christie’s campaign will certainly attract a lot of media attention,” said John Ellis, an expert on American politics.
Chris Christie also suggested the former president was “afraid” to debate his Republican opponents. The first of these exchanges is scheduled for August 23 in Wisconsin.
“More joy, joy!”
On Wednesday, the number of contenders for the Republican nomination is expected to increase as Donald Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence runs. Evangelical Christian and staunch opponent of abortion, Mike Pence helped Donald Trump capture the religious right by being his running mate during the 2016 presidential campaign.
After years of unwavering loyalty, he changed his tune because of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol that shook American democracy. The rift between the two is hurting Mike Pence’s chances of continuing with many activists loyal to Donald Trump. He should be considered a “traitor”.
To all these candidates must be added Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who is one of the least known in the country. All to the delight of Donald Trump. Nikki Haley, the only female Republican candidate, said on Fox News after she entered the race that she was “overwhelmed.”
Mike Pence’s campaign is less likely to interfere with the former president’s candidacy than Ron DeSantis, who is currently second only to Donald Trump. Like the former vice president, the 44-year-old governor of Florida is a conservative, yet highly offensive, bet on the fact that the ex-president will eventually be forced out of the game by a flurry of speech and legal threats. against him.
The strategy is to encourage the 76-year-old former president by avoiding outspoken criticism of Donald Trump’s many supporters until he drops out of the race. A brave race. The tribunal, whose fall has been declared a thousand times, has so far survived all scandals. Due to accumulation, they no longer have any effect on his popularity. “If the rape allegations and attacks on Capitol Hill fail to change Trump’s base, neither will these candidates,” predicted Democratic strategist Amani Wells-Onyoha.
