Former President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on President Biden in another sign his campaign is looking past the Republican primaries — and focusing more on the general election ahead.
When he did mention his Republican rivals in the presidential primary, Trump cited how far he was ahead in political polls. He called Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida an"unskilled politician" who"sided with the communists in China." But that was about all he said about the GOP primary.
Gidley said the focus is and should be on Joe Biden."That's the person Republicans want to unseat," he said."That's the person Donald Trump should continue to attack." For example, Trump's also shifted the focus of his ads. After spending millions in ads against DeSantis this spring, Trump's campaign and his Super PAC have all but stopped spending on DeSantis attack ads.
It signals a shift away from the closest competitor in the primary to what Trump seems to see as his closest competition overall as he gears up for what would be a rematch of the 2020 election.
