The 360 | Are Republican challengers a threat to Trump?
On Monday, former tea party Congressman Joe Walsh announced his bid to challenge Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2020. Walsh said he wants to offer voters an alternative to Trump, who he called “completely unfit to be president.”
Walsh had previously been a vocal proponent of Trump but has since apologized for that support. He also said he regrets his history of saying “racist things” about former President Barack Obama, Muslims and black people generally. History shows, however, that primary challengers can harm an incumbent’s reelection chances. In fact, every sitting president in recent American history who has faced a serious primary fight has ultimately lost his reelection bid. Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush were all defeated in the general election after defeating challengers from within their own party.
