The GOP's Dilemma: Trump's Short-Term Gain or Long-Term Pain?
TL;DR Summary
Despite leading in primary polls, Donald Trump's standing among Capitol Hill conservatives appears to be diminishing ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Interviews with over 40 congressional Republicans, including 32 members of the House Freedom Caucus, show a surprising number of Trump's once-ardent supporters going quiet about whether they back him. The small share of conservatives willing to endorse Trump right now suggests that the former president's power base in the Hill GOP is at a nadir, even as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other rivals have yet to ramp up their outreach.
