It is Donald Trump and his supporters against the world. This is the way the former president has always styled his political career, and it shows no sign of changing as Trump tries to keep hold of his influence over the Republican Party ahead of another potential White House run in 2024.
The latest battlefield for the GOP establishment versus Trump is the Arizona governors race. The states current governor, Doug Ducey, announced on Thursday that he was backing Karrin Taylor Robson in the Republican primary which is set for 2 August over Kari Lake, who is supported by Trump. Lake, a former TV anchor, has questioned the result of the 2020 election, in which Trump was beaten by current president Joe Biden. Lake called it disqualifying and sickening when her rival candidate failed to show support for the false claim, promoted by Trump, that the election was stolen.
Duceys announcement means that the governor race in Arizona is the third swing-state primary following those in Georgia and Pennsylvania in which establishment Republicans have sought to go against Trump and his candidacy pick. Trump is still extremely popular in Arizona, with three out of four likely Republican voters in the state viewing him favorably, but whether figures like this can translate into actual wins at the ballot box is a question that is increasingly asked by sections of the Republican Party .
