The GOP strategist said that some Republican voters are 'no longer drinking the Kool-Aid.'
on Friday, said GOP voters who have long supported Trump are beginning to move past the former president amid the hearings.
Former President Donald Trump is “losing control” of the Republican Party, said GOP strategist and pollster Frank Luntz. Above, Trump speaks in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 17."I see people no longer drinking the Kool-Aid. I see people moving away from Trump for the first time," he said. The midterm elections, which are set to be held in early November, have been the greatest test of Trump's post-presidential influence as he seeks to maintain his popularity within the party, potentially gearing up for another presidential run for 2024. Luntz noted the importance of Trump's endorsements in GOP primaries, but suggested his power could still be waning.
"His endorsement matters more than anybody else in the Republican Party by far, but he does not control the Republican Party any more. He's the loudest voice, he has the most influence, but he's losing control every day," he said. Trump has exerted his influence by endorsing a number of candidates who have served as loyal allies—especially with regards to the 2020 election results. A candidate's willingness to support his election fraud claims has appeared to emerge as a key condition for the former president's support.
