"Not surprising," John Dennis, the chair of the San Francisco Republican Party, told ABC7 News. "I think this is a Republican thing in particular. We like to go with the guy with whom we're familiar." "The ironic part is it comes after some indictments of Donald Trump which actually made him more popular among his Republican base," Maviglio said. "And it's also interesting to see that about 80% of voters say it's all just politics, so with more coming up in the next few months, Republican voters might just shrug it off."
Maviglio said some Democrats believe President Biden may have a better shot winning reelection if Trump does win the nomination. "You know, it's a strange phenomenon for Democrats, because on one hand, god forbid he's reelected or becomes the nominee," he said. "On the other hand Joe Biden beat him once and Democrats are pretty confident based on the Midterm elections and the results of the last presidential election they can beat him again.
