The Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro called on the Republican Party to ditch former President Donald Trump to boost its election chances.
On Monday, Shapiro stated on Twitter that the recent Supreme Court verdict in Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization, which toppled Roe v. Wade, has galvanized Democratic and independent voters.
“The Republicans are losing steam in the 2022 election,” Shapiro tweeted.
“There are some reasons for this, the Democratic upswing in the wake of Dobbs being the most obvious factor. But there’s something else going on here that represents a deeper problem for the Republican Party.”
Additionally, the podcast host continued by saying that the Republicans should select a non-Trump candidate in 2024 to make it difficult for Democrats to appeal to independent voters.
“There is a reason Democrats are eager to keep Trump at the center of the conversation: half of independents say Trump is a major factor in their vote, and they’re breaking 4-1 for the Democrats,” Shapiro tweeted.
“Republicans shouldn’t play that game. If they do, they’re cruising for a bruising.”
