Republican senators are noting a decline in enthusiasm for former President Trump among Republican-leaning voters compared to 2016.
This decrease in voter energy was evident in Iowa, where only 15 percent of registered Republicans turned up for Monday’s caucuses.
While weather played a role in the low turnout, lawmakers highlight other indicators of waning enthusiasm for Trump.
This diminished support could potentially pose challenges for down-ballot Republican candidates in swing states.
Senate Republicans are optimistic that Trump’s issues will be offset by reduced enthusiasm among Democrats for President Biden, The Hill reported.
However, they anticipate that Trump’s presence at the top of the ticket may mobilize Democratic voters in significant numbers.
Another concern for GOP senators is Trump’s potential fundraising disadvantage against Biden.
Trump is allocating resources to his legal defense, facing four criminal trials and two civil cases.
Looking ahead, Republicans are closely observing Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary to gauge voter turnout and its implications for the upcoming general election.
