Looking back in the past year, at least when it comes to the presidential race,

Democrats and Republicans have had opposite challenges.

Democrats are dealing with the lack of enthusiasm from some voters

to re-elect President Biden.

For Republicans and Donald Trump,

there's a different problem. The base of the Republican Party loves him, but everyone else is not so sure.

Regardless, Trump dominated in the Republican primary.

And on Tuesday night,

Donald Trump has crossed the threshold,

the former president has yet again secured

the Republican Party nomination

for the third presidential election cycle in a row.

You won the Mississippi, Hawaii, Washington, and Georgia,

officially becoming the presumptive Republican nominee.

That's despite the criminal charges, the defamation and

sexual abuse findings, the hundreds of millions of dollars in legal penalties, the

two impeachments, the ongoing election denial, and the continued fallout from January 6th.

So considering all this, I wanted to ask Republicans the same question we posed to Democrats last week and answer it more directly than we ever have before.

How exactly did we end up with Donald Trump again?

And why? From the New York Times, I'm a Stenhearndon.

This is the run-up. Hi, how are you?

Hey ma'am.
