Donald Trump dominates the Republican Party

Despite accusations and prosecution efforts from the U.S. Department of Justice , Donald Trump remains ahead among the eight Republican presidential candidates.

According to The Hill (USA), in just three days (June 12-14, 2023), after Donald Trump was subpoenaed by the Miami City Court, his campaign team raised $2 million at a party at the Bedminster Golf Club; the remaining $4.5 million was donated directly by voters who supported the politician .

Furthermore, polls and assessments from American political analysts indicate that, despite facing court charges, former President Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential race, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in second place.

To date, the Republican Party has eight candidates. The newest addition to the list is Francis Suarez (a Cuban-American), the Mayor of Miami, Florida.

At the start of his term, President Biden stated that he would not discuss Justice Department investigations, particularly those concerning the former president. He has remained silent since his predecessor was indicted on June 13th. Some close to him hope President Joe Biden will reconsider this decision, given that next year's election could be a rematch with former President Trump, even if the legal battle is not yet over.

As President Biden's advisers drafted the script for the upcoming campaign, they argued that continued silence on the allegations against Trump would deprive Biden of a powerful political weapon in his re-election bid. The number of criminal charges Trump faces is mounting and may soon include allegations of election interference and incitement to riots on January 6, 2020. These allegations form the basis of President Biden's long-held claim that Trump is the sole threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, Republican senators are concerned that Trump's legal troubles will significantly disadvantage their candidates in the 2024 presidential election. They believe the battle between the Justice Department and Trump will become a major test, much like the politician's claims that the 2020 election was "stolen" became a prominent point of contention in the Republican primaries two years prior.

Republican senators are concerned that this politician's influence in the media will cause voters, especially suburban women, to lose interest, harming the Republican Party's chances of regaining the Senate or defending its fragile majority in the House of Representatives.
