Why Most of Trump’s GOP Rivals Won’t Attack Him

Harry Enten: “Polls show Donald Trump leading Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his nearest rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, by about 40 points. You might think this would cause the former president’s GOP rivals to attack him in an attempt to eat into that support, which stands at north of 50% of the primary vote.”

‘Yet, most of his opponents seem hesitant, if not totally unwilling, to do so.”

“A look at the numbers reveals why. Those who have gone after him have seen their popularity among Republican voters suffer, while those who have risen in primary polling are either mostly not mentioning Trump or are praising him.”
