Republicans hold the slimmest of majorities in New Hampshire's House right now and GOP officials in the state worry they won't hold on to it if former President Donald Trump is the party's presidential nominee next year.
During the years that Mr. Trump has been the undisputed leader of the GOP, Chris Maidment, chairman of the Republican Party in Hillsborough County, says swing voters, particularly in the suburbs, have turned away.
Meanwhile, in Florida, Republicans have enjoyed a boom since 2018 under Mr. Trump’s most prominent GOP rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis, who jumped into the presidential primary race on Wednesday. Mr. Trump has challenged the idea that Mr. DeSantis deserves credit for the GOP’s winning in Florida. Mr. DeSantis isn’t the only Republican primary candidate with gubernatorial experience who built the GOP.
The GOP also lost some 200 seats in state legislatures between 2017 and 2021, and the party saw seven governorships flip from Republicans to Democrats. “President Trump is the undisputed leader of the party, which has now become the party of working-class men and women,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Steven Cheung. “In just his first term, he led the economy to record highs, nominated three Supreme Court justices that overturned Roe v. Wade, made the United States respected on the world stage, secured the border, and built the America First movement from the ground up.
