Former President Donald Trump has won enough delegates to be the Republican presumptive nominee for president. He is set to go up in the general election against President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee. Associated Press reporter Michelle Price explains Trump’s journey to the presumptive nomination. “Donald Trump has been the frontrunner since he announced his campaign in November 2022. But he started out as a bit of a weaker candidate. He was facing blame for his party's lackluster performance in the 2022 elections, and he was still facing some criticism, including from members of his own party, for his actions on January 6th,” Price said. Trump is heading toward the general election with some warning signs. “The voters in the Republican primaries tend to be more conservative, and the voters in the general election are going to be a much more diverse group of people that Donald Trump is going to have to appeal to. He's also coming into this election with unprecedented legal challenges. He faces four criminal cases, more than 91 charges,” Price said. However, he also has a set of strengths that he carries with him as well. “He was out early talking about the challenges at the border, which has become a bigger concern for voters of both parties heading into November. He also has been able to avoid some of the questions about age that Joe Biden is facing, even though he's only a few years younger than Joe Biden. Donald Trump also has a perception among some voters as being stronger on the economy, and his voters are still grappling with issues like inflation, high food prices,” Price said. Outside of some potential unlikely last minute maneuvering at the Republican convention, Trump is set to be the party's nominee. This sets him up to use all the resources of the Republican Party, their state parties across the state to help marshal his election in November.”
