Republicans Reel as Trump-Led Voters Fizzle in Off-Year Elections, Leaving GOP on High Alert
Democrats' strong showings in off-year elections have left Republicans worried about low voter turnout from key Trump supporters, who are increasingly disillusioned with the party's direction.
Republicans are growing increasingly concerned about voter turnout from Donald Trump supporters ahead of the 2024 elections, following a string of Democratic off-year election victories that have left the party feeling emboldened. The GOP is worried that if Trump's base doesn't turn out to vote in large numbers, they risk losing control of key states and congressional seats. This concern is fueled by polling data suggesting that many Trump voters who backed him in 2020 are less enthusiastic about supporting Republican candidates this time around. As a result, the party is scrambling to mobilize its own base and persuade swing voters to support their candidates.
