As Trump restarts rallies, GOP strategists hope against all odds that he won't rehash 2020 election

The Republican Party finds itself in befuddling circumstances as former President Donald Trump prepares to hold political rallies again, beginning this weekend with an appearance in North Carolina.

Trump was one of the only Republican candidates to lose a high-profile competitive race in 2020. GOP candidates won the majority of close races across the country, in the U.S. Senate, in the U.S. House and in state legislatures and gubernatorial races.

Yet the party remains stuck with Trump as its standard bearer for the foreseeable future, due to his intense popularity with a vocal portion of the party. A substantial majority of Republicans also say they believe his claims that the election was stolen from him, according to a recent Yahoo News/YouGov survey, and he leads the rest of the hypothetical GOP field in some early polls for the party’s nomination in 2024.

But none of that means he is the GOP’s best representative against a Democrat. The 2020 election would suggest the opposite.

That he doesn't have the money to sustain a lot of rallies like he had when he was using our tax money freely to fund AF1.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was to drive up to Charlotte from Mar-a-lago.

from the election being stolen to being banned from FB for 2 years to his blog shuttering. Wonder who’s going to pay for the rallies.

He'd run from 2020 and pretend it never happened.

He'd come up with some new divisive plank and go back to the old playbook with a different theme.

But he's not smart, so... 4 years of silliness.

11. Of course he's going to replay 2020. All he's got is the election was stolen.

Hell, he'll probably replay his greatest hit of all, that how great his 2016 win was.
