Trump is wasting no time establishing himself as one of the front-runners in the Republican primary battle for president. However, unlike other candidates, he will potentially face some unique challenges on his way to the nomination.
The former president, like many other GOP candidate-hopefuls, has visited New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Iowa to gather support and attack his opponents, painting himself as the only GOP candidate who can take back the presidency.Trump is facing significant hurdles that other presidential candidates do not have, such as federal and state investigations into actions he took while he was president and misconduct within his personal life and business practices.
The former president is also being probed by the Justice Department for hundreds of classified documents discovered at his home in Mar-a-Lago, as well as actions he took leading up to and during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol after the 2020 election. "We have [here] distorting laws to try and bag President Trump," he said."I don't know what it is, but clearly, this prosecutor and this prosecutor's office has made an agenda of trying to get him. They've scoured his personal life and business life for seven years."
Before speculation surrounding DeSantis's possible run escalated, the Florida governor was already viewed as Trump's biggest threat and a rising star within the Republican Party after Florida's GOP found success in the 2022 midterm elections. Trump has ramped up his attacks against DeSantis, calling him Ron"DeSanctimonious,""Meatball Ron," and"Ryan DeSantis," a blast at former House Speaker Paul Ryan , whom Trump continues to press as DeSantis's potential running mate. Ryan ran as Sen. Mitt Romney's would-be vice president in 2012.Trump's strength within the Republican Party is on shifting sands.
