Following his recent victory in South Carolina, former President Trump is experiencing a surge in momentum as he garners support from key figures within the Republican Party. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has noted that fellow Republicans are rallying behind Trump like never before, indicating a significant shift in support towards the former president.
Abbott highlighted the clear trajectory that Trump is currently on, emphasizing the potential for him to secure victories in upcoming states and dominate Super Tuesday. The resounding defeat of Nikki Haley in South Carolina further solidified Trump's position as a frontrunner, positioning him favorably to secure the nomination by mid-March.
The level of unity within the Republican Party in support of Trump is notably stronger than in previous races, with prominent figures within the party aligning themselves with the former president. The endorsement of the second highest-ranking Republican in the US Senate further underscores this growing support.
Just last month, South Dakota Senator John Thune expressed concerns about Trump's viability in a general election. However, Thune's recent decision to endorse Trump signals a shift in his stance, indicating a growing acceptance and support for the former president within the party.
