Donald Trump, who announced his candidacy for the US presidency in 2024, is leading by a wide margin ahead of other Republican competitors. Following Trump among Republican candidates is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis, who has been considered the rising star of the Republican Party, has seen a decline in his approval ratings for some time now. One of those who announced their candidacy for the presidency is Nikki Haley, who served as the "US Ambassador to the UN" during the Trump era. Haley initially stated that she wouldn't run if Trump entered the race, but later changed her stance. Trump, referring to Ron DeSantis as a "phony" and giving Nikki Haley the nickname "Nikki 'Birdbrain' Haley," responded to these developments. In response to Trump's comments, Haley shared a post on X, saying, "I love this. It means we are in second place and rising fast. Let's go!" From the beginning, Trump has not considered anyone in the Republican Party as a rival. Therefore, he has not appeared on screens with his competitors or participated in debates. The lawsuits, investigations, and ongoing trials against him have further increased Trump's influence on the party's base. Trump's approval ratings are rising in the polls, while those of his rivals are falling. "Centrist Republicans" are making intense efforts for Trump's defeat in the primaries. Many Republican billionaires had invested in DeSantis. However, due to DeSantis's failure to perform as expected, this support has gradually decreased. At this point, anti-Trump Republicans are almost giving up. Even many Republicans who reject Trump's claim that the 2020 elections were stolen seem to have accepted Trump's candidacy. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, one of these figures, said in a statement that he would support Trump if he wins the primaries. Many campaign groups opposed to Trump have stopped spending money on the primaries, citing their ineffectiveness. Meanwhile, an interesting development that concerns Trump has occurred. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Speaker of the House, was impeached. McCarthy, who the staunch Trump supporters in the House did not like, was able to become the Speaker of the House only with great difficulty through 15 repeated votes earlier this year. McCarthy served as a bridge between Trump and the Centrist Republicans. The more right-wing faction of Republicans in the House accused McCarthy of not being tough enough against the Biden Administration and the Democrats. Last week, the House of Representatives approved a spending bill in cooperation with the Democrats to prevent a government shutdown, and this was the last straw. Opposition to McCarthy had been led by Matt Gaetz, a staunch Trump supporter, for some time. As a result of the impeachment vote prompted by Gaetz's proposal, McCarthy did not receive enough votes. Republicans, who are only a handful more than the majority in the House, now accuse the impeachment-supporting Right-wing Republicans of treachery. Trump's silence this time, unlike his previous support for McCarthy's House Speakership, has been quite striking. In his message, Trump asked, "Why do Republicans always fight amongst themselves? Why aren't they fighting against Radical Left Democrats who are destroying our country?" instead of using more direct language. Matt Gaetz, in his statement after the vote, implied that Trump supported the "impeachment issue," saying, "The conversations I've had with the former president give me great confidence that I did the right thing." However, Trump's inner circle denies such support. In the coming days, a new process will begin for the Speakership of the House. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Steve Scalise, the House Majority Leader, stand out among Republican Party members for the House Speakership. Trump has openly thrown his support behind Jim Jordan. Jordan was one of the figures who supported Trump's candidacy for the 2024 elections earlier this year.
