Birthright Citizenship Becomes a Trump-Style Litmus Test for the GOP

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 5–4 decision, but The Bulwark argues the ruling exposed rifts in Trump’s coalition. A focus group of Florida voters who backed Trump revealed skepticism toward the 160-year-old precedent and a “moral alibi” around following the citizenship process—favoring instead a fair process—while many Republicans still lean hawkish on immigration, closer to Trump’s frame than reformers. The piece contends that Trump’s rhetoric has shifted the GOP’s immigration debate and that such positions will be a key litmus test for 2028 candidates, even in defeat.

"Trump's Lead Surges in 2024 GOP Primary Despite Indictments, Poll Reveals"

Despite facing multiple criminal charges, former President Donald Trump maintains a strong lead in the 2024 Republican presidential primary field, with 59% of GOP voters choosing him as their first choice, according to a new poll by the Wall Street Journal. Trump's indictments have seemingly bolstered his frontrunner status among Republican contenders, as voters view the charges as political and express doubts over his legal challenges. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trails far behind in second place, with 13% support, while other candidates fail to reach double digits. In a hypothetical rematch against President Joe Biden, Trump and Biden are tied at 46%, indicating a competitive race despite Trump's legal troubles.

Despite facing potential indictments and ongoing legal troubles, many Republican voters, including those at the Boone County Fair in Iowa, continue to stand by former President Donald Trump. While some express weariness with the controversies surrounding Trump and are open to other candidates for the 2024 election, many dismiss his legal challenges as part of a liberal smear campaign and remain loyal to him. A recent poll shows Trump leading the GOP primary field in Iowa, and his supporters believe he is the candidate with the best chance of defeating President Biden.

The Controversial Rise of Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis risks alienating traditional Republicans as he sides with the MAGA wing of the party, which could hurt his sky-high approval numbers. DeSantis plans to peel off some MAGA voters from Trump by questioning the former president's character and competence and positioning himself as a younger, more electable alternative. However, with Trump's lead over DeSantis growing, it's likelier that Trump's support among the MAGA base will be hard to dislodge. DeSantis risks being caricatured as too hard-edged, even for some Republicans, if he keeps pandering to the most hardline conservative voters.
