Trump Forced to Regroup

July 21, 2024 · 9:27 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump and his allies confronted a new electoral landscape on Sunday as President Biden ended his bid for reelection, a move that upended a period of steady political gains for the Republican nominee and forced his campaign to regroup with a new blueprint less than four months before the election,” the Washington Post reports.

“Fresh off weeks of mounting confidence over Biden’s stumbles and reams of polling showing the former president ahead in key swing states, Trump at one point appeared frustrated at Biden’s exit, writing on social media that he was ‘forced to spend time and money’ against Biden and now has to ‘start all over again.’”
