Two in 10 to as many as three in 10 Republican primary voters in Ohio continued to resist former President Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy – and among those supporting Nikki Haley, nearly half in an ABC News exit poll of Ohio’s GOP primary said they’d back Joe Biden in November.
While majorities of respondents expressed fealty toward Trump, the extent of intraparty challenges may matter in what’s expected to be a close contest in November against President Biden. Despite his having sewn up his party’s nomination, 20% of Ohio GOP primary voters would be dissatisfied with Trump as the nominee, exit polling found, while 22% said he lacks the temperament to serve effectively and 28% said he wouldn’t be fit for office if convicted of a crime. (He denies all wrongdoing.)
I have a begrudging respect for Nikki Haley in being kind of the “last real republican” - but at the same time gee whiz, who would guess that Joe Biden would appeal so strongly to republicans
