Four court cases and 91 charges against him.

0:10.3

A constant stream of anti-democratic statements from him and a robust American economy

0:15.5

that would normally blunt any real opposition and still Donald Trump is tied with

0:20.1

or beating President Joe Biden in most polls.

0:22.9

How? Why? I wanted the view from someone who used to be on the inside of the Republican Party
