Asma Khalid: What We’ve Seen This Election Season Is that Everything Is a Referendum on Trump

‘It’s challenging for the other Republican candidates to criticize Trump in the way they need to criticize him’’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

KHALID: “I mean, I don't know. New Hampshire, I think, has always had this very independent-minded streak, and you've often seen that the winner of Iowa is not the winner of New Hampshire. There is a differentiation there. I think really, though, what we saw with the Colorado case is that it's very hard for any other Republican candidate in the field to make a breakthrough because, ultimately, what we've seen this entire election season is that everything is a referendum on Trump. And so, you've seen it. It's really challenging for the other Republican candidates to criticize Trump in the way they need to criticize him, to be able to differentiate themselves. So every time we've seen this, we've seen this with Mar-a-Lago, the raid, we've seen this with impeachments, everything becomes a litmus test for other Republicans to validate how closely aligned they are with the former president."
