| Trump's 'scuzzier sides' leaving wannabe successors in a lurch None of the Republicans angling to succeed President Donald Trump as the 2028 presidential nominee are expected to have an easy time of it, but according to a new analysis from The i Paper, the 'scuzzier sides of [Trump's] legacy' are leaving wannabes with a potentially unwinnable battle. Fred Kaplan is a veteran, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and on Saturday, he published a new piece for The i Paper breaking down the top prospects for the Republican side of the 2028 presidential race, and how much Trump's Iran war and tanking approval ratings are leaving prospective nominees with a brutal balancing act to try and pull off. Winning the nomination will require courting Trump's devoted followers, who will want his direct successors, as well as GOP voters who want someone as far from his as possible. |
