The Republican voters have spoken.
Former President Donald Trump is the people’s choice.
According to a brand new poll released by Quinnipiac, 66 percent of Republicans are hoping the former president takes another run at the White House in 2024.
And not only do two-thirds of GOP voters want Trump to run again, 85 percent of Republicans polled say that they want those running for office want candidates to agree with the president.
Only twenty five percent of conservative voters say they don’t want Trump to run again.
Poll experts are saying that the latest poll is evidence that Trump is still the head of the party.
And that his influence on other Republican down-ballot candidates is unmatched heading towards the 2022 midterms.
Bad news for establishment Republicans hoping Trump would vanish into the background following the election.
Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy noted, “the numbers fly in the face of any predictions that Donald Trump’s political future is in decline.”
“By a substantial majority, Republicans: (1) believe the election was stolen from him, (2) want Trump to run again, and (3), if they can’t vote for Trump, prefer someone who agrees with him.”
Simply put, the numbers show that the GOP is largely still thinking the way Donald Trump thinks.
Of course, it’s all but a guarantee that Trump will run again.
Though he’s been shuttered from social media platforms, he’s done well to make headline-grabbing statements in Fox News interviews and also used public speaking opportunities to juice his base. Let’s not forget the anticipated return of his rallies…
Early in May he teased that his supporters would be very pleased with the announcement he’s slated to make.
“I’m absolutely enthused,” Trump said then. “I look forward to doing an announcement at the right time. As you know, it’s very early. But I think people are going to be very, very happy when I make a certain announcement.”
