Former President Donald Trump is the “weakest” major Republican candidate running in the 2024 presidential election, according to GOP pollster Frank Luntz.
The ex-president is also leading or even with President Joe Biden in most polls, despite much of his attention recently being focused on the avalanche of legal issues that he is facing, including 91 felony criminal counts and multiple civil lawsuits.
“I don’t understand for the life of me why [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer and why [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries do not go to the White House and say, 'Sir, you’ve been a great president, you’ve done a good job for us, but it’s time to move on,” Luntz said.
Luntz incorrectly predicted that Republicans would sweep last year’s midterm elections by historic margins, claiming that they would achieve “between 233-240 House seats” and win back the Senate.
In reality, Republicans performed far worse than most political observers predicted, winning back the House by a smaller-than-expected margin and remaining in the minority in the Senate while Democrats picked up a seat.
Many observers, including some Republicans, did attribute the Republican 2022 midterm failure to Trump’s involvement, especially since high-profile Trump-backed GOP candidates including Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker lost races that tilted control of the Senate.
