The 2020 race for the US presidency is already heating up with the intensifying battle for the spot in the Republican front runner parade. Donald Trump, who is seeking a re-election, stands out as the undeniable frontrunner in the race. Despite campaigning and fundraising less than his opponents, Trump seems to dominate the field.
To understand his dominance, one needs to look into his base of supporters. Trump has built successful relationships with Republican donors, who continue to fund his efforts. Moreover, Trump has managed to gain the loyalty of many GOP primary voters, as they are motivated by his conservative stances on major political issues. In addition, Trump has proven to be a formidable candidate in debates and public speeches, stirring debates and gaining support in the process.
The Trump campaign also stands out from the rest as it continues to focus heavily on social media, particularly Twitter. Trump has used platforms like Twitter and Instagram to engage with potential voters and push for his political agenda. As a result, Trump remains the most followed political candidate on such platforms, thus building and maintaining a broad level of support amongst the public.
Despite his dominance, Trump isn’t the only presidential hopeful vying for the GOP nomination. In addition to the president, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Texas Governor Rick Perry have all thrown their hats into the ring for the upcoming election. However, it is clear that with his leader, Trump stands out from the rest.
Though his opponents may boast of having the upper hand in terms of funds raised, Trump’s grip on the Republican Party is such that he continues to be the main force to beat. Trump’s apparent appeal and influential status among GOP voters make it very difficult for his candidates to overcome his hold on the polls.
Thus, it is evident that despite his catches up in campaign fundraising, Donald Trump continues to dominate the GOP field running for the US presidency. With the help of his dedicated base of supporters and effective campaigns, Trump succeeds in staying ahead of the competition. It is yet to be seen whether his rivals can come anywhere close to him in the polls or if he will remain the only frontrunner before the 2020 elections.
