Duel of words between Trump Pence and DeSantis could emerge as Republican nominee #IndiaNEWS #Other News
By Ashe OneilNew York, July 28 (IANS) Former US President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence have returned to the capital making dueling speeches to woo Republican voters, but Trump is emerging on top of Pence and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, however coming in between them.
Trump and Pence both returned to Washington D. C. to give dueling speeches on Wednesday, indicating they are seeking the partys attention of November 8 House of Representatives elections ahead of the 2024 presidential run, says Republican Strategist Scott Jennings in a radio interview to NPR.
He had listened to both speeches, says Jennings, a Republican strategist and a MORNING EDITION regular in the network.
When asked what was his take from both speeches, Jennings said it was remarkable that a Vice President was going to run against his old boss.
Pences messaging is we have to think about the future. And, Trumps message is, we need to relitigate the past. Right now, Donald Trump is on top of Mike Pence and Florida Governor DeSantis is between them. Well see how it turns out over the next couple of years.
What could be working in the mind of DeSantis in all this? A presidential hopeful for 2024 ticket in Republican primaries, where does he stand? Jennings felt he had the advantage on Pence right now in the polling. Hes on top of Pence of the non-Trump candidates who are seeking the nomination. And he probably thinks its a good thing for Pence to be in the race to some degree because Pences message is that we need to be conservatives, but we need to move on from Trump.
And thats what DeSantis needs Republican voters to think. But it may, he may prefer someone else to say that instead of him at the moment. And thats what Pence is doing.
Trump focused partly on taking a harder line on crime. The US is very much rattled by the series of shootings from Uvalde in Texas to Chicago shootings. Here is the sound bite of the former President. We need an all-out effort to defeat violent crime in America and strongly defeat it and be tough and be nasty and be mean if we have to, he said.
Whats the strategy behind Trumps turning attention to this, though its known most republicans are influenced by the gun lobby of National Rifles Association.
Jennings response was that violent crime in American cities is a huge issue for Republicans right now. I thought it was noteworthy, frankly, that Trump spent some time on an agenda other than relitigating 2020. And so, I would say what he said yesterday will resonate with quite a few Republican voters, even people who are nervous about rolling the dice on a candidacy thats lost the national popular vote in the last two elections.
