As they prepare for their face-off on the debate stage next month, warning signals are flashing for President Biden and former President Donald Trump in their 2024 election rematch - as they both appear to struggle to lock up their base voters. More than two months after she dropped out of the Republican presidential nomination race, zombie candidate Nikki Haley is still grabbing sizable support in the GOP primaries at the expense of Trump.
One week after Haley won 22% of the vote in Indiana's GOP presidential primary, where independents and Democrats could vote, it was supposed to be a different story on Tuesday as Maryland, Nebraska, and West Virginia held mostly closed Republican contests. But according to unofficial results, Haley grabbed 21% support in Maryland and 18% in Nebraska.
And Haley performed strongest in suburban areas in both states, as she also did in earlier primaries held after she suspended her presidential bid. It's another potential general election problem for Trump, who is currently making history as the first former or current president to stand trial in a criminal case.
The primaries were held on the eve of a proposal by Biden and his re-election campaign to hold presidential debates with Trump in June and early September - with a vice presidential debate over the summer - to which Trump quickly agreed.
