Republican strategist Karl Rove said former President Trump’s campaign is “concerned” about the unity of the Republican Party, pointing to strong support for Republican candidate Nikki Haley’s candidacy on Super Tuesday.
Rove called Super Tuesday “a powerful night for Donald Trump” in an interview on Fox News, and the former president’s campaign predicts he will win enough delegates to win the Republican nomination by later this month. predicted that it was “probably accurate.” ”
“That being said, Team Trump’s high command should be interested in unifying the Republican Party,” added Rove, a former top aide to former President George W. Bush.
His comments came just before President Trump spoke Tuesday night, a day before sources told The Hill that Haley was suspending her campaign after suffering a crushing defeat in the early primaries. Something happened.
Prior to President Trump’s speech, Rove predicted that the tone of the top Republican candidate after his victory would be important for the party going forward.
“There’s still some work to be done to unify the Republican Party, including his tone tonight and stopping things like calling her Birdbrain and threatening you if you donate to her campaign. A lot will depend on whether or not you get banned for life. And let’s see how he does tonight,” he said in an interview. Highlighted by Mediaite.
“He did well in Iowa, where his victory declaration was unity, humility and civility, but he wasn’t as good in New Hampshire. Tonight is going to be a big night,” Fox News Contributor Mr. Loeb continued. “And he will set an important course for both a unified Republican Party and a divided Republican Party.”
Exit polls from key states on Super Tuesday support Rove’s assertion that Trump is trying to woo voters into his camp. In one poll cited by CNN, more than three-quarters of Haley supporters said they did not plan to vote for the likely Republican nominee in November.
Earlier Tuesday, President Trump took aim at Rove and called on Fox News to take the political commentator off the air.
“My record on endorsements is unmatched by anyone ever. Put people in place who understand what’s going on in politics…and while you’re at it, Karl Get rid of Rove!!!,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Hill called on the Trump campaign to respond.
