Trump is now facing opposition in his campaign for the upcoming presidential election . Left-leaning articles highlight polls on American views on the state of democracy in the country along with Trump’s plans should he have a second term, while right-leaning articles highlight the large donations from Wall Street executives to Trump’s GOP opponents in the upcoming presidential election.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting on two former Trump campaign leaders' statements that DeSantis has a candidate problem. On a podcast, former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien and former deputy campaign chief Justin Clark noted that DeSantis has to engage with people if he wants to be competitive with Trump. The two suggested that DeSantis should “lean into policy” and connect with voters on issues and policies they care about. DeSantis can look to the future, with the first GOP primary debate in August, as an opportunity to connect with voters, while already campaigning in early primary and caucus states.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted polls on American views on the state of democracy and Trump's vision for a possible second term in office. On Friday, the Associated Press released polls evaluating American views on the state of democracy, with most Democrats stating they thought democracy was working at least somewhat well, and six in 10 Republicans saying it wasn’t working well at all. The poll also asked if the government did a good job representing American interests, with most Republicans thinking it didn’t. Trump has capitalized on this sentiment by stating his vision for a possible second term and saying that he would overhaul the government. Trump has been criticized for not understanding how the government operates and for his goals to give the president more authority, looking to act as the “CEO of the country.”
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted Wall Street executives donating election maximums to support Trump’s rivals in the Republican presidential primary. According to Federal Elections Commission reports, major players on Wall Street have made significant donations to Trump’s opponents, such as DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy. Trump still maintains the lead in primary polling, raising more than $35 million in the second quarter of 2023 fundraising, nearly doubling what he raised in the first quarter. President Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign has also been relying on donations from wealthy Democrats, as middle class donations appear to be lacking.
