Overview

  • Trump's primary wins overshadowed by significant dissent within the GOP, as shown by votes for Nikki Haley and other non-candidates.
  • Biden's handling of the Gaza conflict leads to a notable percentage of Democratic primary voters in swing states voting 'uncommitted' or 'uninstructed'.
  • New polling indicates Trump leading Biden in six out of seven swing states, with the two tied in Wisconsin.
  • Florida emerges as a potential battleground due to abortion rights debate and Biden's campaign efforts to win over Haley's supporters.
  • Both campaigns face the challenge of motivating unenthusiastic partisans and appealing to 'double-haters'—voters disillusioned with both major candidates.
