As the Republican presidential field expands, candidates attempt to sway Republican voters away from former President Donald Trump.

However, candidates struggle to provide a compelling reason for primary voters to abandon Trump.

This past month, former Vice President Mike Pence and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie joined a list of concerned Republican leaders. That includes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, ex-South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.

Despite potential legal issues, polls indicate that primary Republican voters are satisfied with Trump’s presidency and are willing to overlook such concerns. Trump’s appeal to voters has always been rooted in personal and emotional connections, championing the causes of the average American and expressing unfiltered views on issues that plague middle-class America.

Analysts are now assessing whether Trump’s influence may adversely affect down-ticket candidates, potentially enabling Democrats to regain control of the House and make gains in state legislatures.
