MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan said a new poll should be considered “funeral rites” for Republicans hoping to defeat Donald Trump in next year’s presidential primary. And it’s especially bad news for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has been the former president’s chief rival. (The poll of 932 likely Republican primary voters was conducted from July 23 to 27.) DeSantis has made “fighting wokeness” his signature issue, but Hasan noted that Trump polls ahead of him even on that topic. The poll also shows that Trump has sealed his control over the GOP as most Republican voters are unswayed by the criminal charges against the former president.
