Donald Trump's political strategy is entering a new phase as his top aide, James Blair, announced that the GOP's primary season is effectively over and the focus has shifted to combating Democrats. This announcement follows a series of successful primary challenges where Trump-backed candidates defeated Republican critics, including Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Blair characterized the recent victories as part of Trump's 'revenge tour' against those who opposed him. The GOP is entering the general election season with a substantial financial advantage, boasting around $125 million in cash reserves, while the Democratic National Committee is still dealing with debts from previous campaigns. However, Trump faces significant challenges, including a job approval rating that is 16 to 19 points underwater, particularly among independent voters. Additionally, concerns are rising within the party about the viability of candidates like Ken Paxton, who has faced corruption allegations, potentially jeopardizing previously secure seats. As Trump continues to assert his winning capabilities, the upcoming elections will test whether his strategies remain effective.
