If the former president wins, Caparra’s “my version of this country” comment could be instructive. Economic concerns dominateIf Trump wins, voters like Joseph Knowles and Brian McMutuary will be part of his comeback math too. CNNIf Harris wins, women will be the foundation of her coalition. Many Trump voters echo their candidate in saying the only way for Harris to win is through fraud. Attorney Joan London is another Haley voter turned Harris voter.

Many Trump supporters not only dislike DeSantis, but echo Trump's assertions that DeSantis betrayed him and say they would never consider him again. DeSantis' campaign against Trump had soured her on the governor, she said. “He backstabbed President Trump. DeSantis' allies believe the Florida governor has a clear path to another presidential bid should he want one. But he hasn’t yet offered an olive branch to angry Trump supporters.

“America does not do coronations,” Haley said at a VFW hall in Franklin, joined by her daughter and son-in-law. On paper, Trump had seemed more vulnerable in New Hampshire than in any other early voting state on the primary calendar. And Haley had been on the rise, prompting Trump’s campaign and its allies to spend millions trying to blunt her momentum. DeSantis immediately endorsed Trump upon dropping out, saying it was clear to him Republican voters preferred the former president. He is a juggernaut,” Haley campaign manager Betsy Ankney said at a weekend event hosted by Bloomberg.

And I think he’s right there with Reagan as far as his track record, what he did overall throughout his presidency. I think it really does set her up well as you do move on into some other states. nick corasanitiSo New Hampshire has a long history of really just going against Iowa, right? Those independents is where the question of the final results really, really come in. They were economic voters, taxation voters, pro-gun voters, not any of those kind of evangelical issues that we heard in Iowa.

"I never thought anything like this could happen in America," Trump told supporters gathered at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump delivered a defiant speech in Mar-a-Lago after his arraignment in New York on Tuesday. Trump allies like Roger Stone, Mike Lindell, Kari Lake, and Marjorie Taylor Greene were there. GOP lawmakers like Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made it down to Mar-a-Lago to cheer Trump on. Greene — who earlier on Tuesday gave a short 10-minute speech at a mini pro-Trump protest in New York — tweeted about the Mar-a-Lago event. Trump on Tuesday was arrested in New York, and later in a Manhattan courtroom pleaded not guilty to 34 low-level felony charges.

☆ They've seen enough: Trump-backing CPAC attendees want to freeze the 2024 field before things get any messier

Trump fans told Insider no one else should jump in because things are already too mixed up. "What I'm most looking forward to, obviously, is President Trump," she said, noting that she planned to be front and center for his keynote address on Saturday evening. "I think that's a good group," he said, adding, "That's enough." But President Trump is the one that we need," Le told Insider. CPAC attendee Thao Le shows off the Donald Trump pin on her American flag-themed hat on Thursday, March 2, 2023.

But even Democrats acknowledge the issue will give the new GOP-controlled House a fresh line of attack against the White House and may help Trump neutralize or counteract one of the most potent charges against him. And of course, the FBI investigation into classified documents on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server may have sunk her 2016 presidential campaign. Recent polls show most Americans have little interest in Congress investigating Biden and are more likely to trust him over Trump or the new Congress. “I think House Republicans have tied themselves into knots already,” Petkanas added, noting GOP lawmakers have downplayed Trump’s documents. James Comer said Trump’s documents are not 'a priority.’ So how can they with a straight face say that the Biden documents have legs but Trump’s do not?”

Scott said what matters more to diehard Trump fans is how the former president is being scrutinized by federal investigators right now. "I think the FBI revved up the base — by doing the raid and not telling anyone why they did it," Scott said.
