What Are GOP Voters Looking For?

January 23, 2024 By The Editors

What is it GOP voters are looking for? The party’s primary race is down to two candidates, President Donald Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley. In The Wall Street Journal, Molly Ball says voters are looking for “pure, uncut Trumpism.” She writes:

The zero hour was approaching, and in a plywood-walled lobster shack on the New Hampshire seacoast, things weren’t looking good for the effort to move the Republican Party past Donald Trump.

The former president’s closest competitor for the GOP nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, had just dropped out of the race and thrown his support to Trump, whom polls showed with a widening lead in Tuesday’s New Hampshire presidential primary. Yet his last remaining rival, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, insisted a Trump victory was not a foregone conclusion.

“What do you want? Do you want more of the same, or do you want something new?” Haley pleaded, standing with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Sunday under a sign reading STEAMERS and a fishing net studded with colorful buoys. “Do you want to go back to a country where they decide who’s a good person and who’s a bad person, who’s the right person and who’s the wrong person? Or do you want to come together as Americans?”

What the GOP’s most loyal voters want, it seems, is pure, uncut Trumpism—with all the baggage and ideological divergence from traditional conservatism that entails. Between DeSantis’s withdrawal and Haley’s having little apparent path forward barring a major upset, the race could well be effectively over by Wednesday, the party having passed up yet another opportunity to turn the page on a polarizing, multiply-indicted fabulist who lost the last election and has never won the popular vote.
