Immigration has become a central issue of the 2024 presidential election for Trump and the Republicans. How did Republican rhetoric change so dramatically on the issue?

Vance’s foreign policy views could prove influential if Trump is re-elected in November.

The former president’s political obituary has been written many times over the past decade. Yet his support among Republicans has rarely dipped below 70%.

Iowa and New Hampshire have long cemented their status as the first-in-the-nation deciders in presidential nominating contests. This outsized influence has increasingly come under scrutiny.

The result confirms the vast majority of Republican voters are still infatuated with the former president, despite his legal troubles and how little campaigning he’s done thus far.

Trump has indicated that, in a second stint as president, he would punish his enemies and reward his champions.

With the former president still very popular within the Republican Party, it will likely come down to Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis to challenge him for the Republican nomination.

Foreign capitals no doubt see this turmoil and question the long-term reliability of Washington.

Trump faces fresh charges over his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result – but how it will affect his 2024 run for the White House remains to be seen.
