The Republican parties are beginning a process of distancing Donald Trump from electoral campaigns, seeking to erase his image and references to his previous campaigns. The situation reflects a significant shift in the party's strategy towards the former president.
The decision to distance Trump comes in a context of a sharp decline in his popularity. According to a recent poll conducted by the Financial Times in partnership with Focaldata, Trump currently has an approval rating of only 33%, which represents a historically low value for a former president of the party.
This change in position by the Republicans indicates an attempt by the party to reposition itself politically ahead of the next elections, seeking to distance itself from a figure increasingly unpopular with the electorate. The phrase "He can't come", the title accompanying the news, reflects the position of some party members who consider Trump's presence more harmful than beneficial to their electoral prospects.
The distancing from Trump represents a significant break with the recent era of the Republican Party, which had the former president as a central figure for several years. This strategy of "erasing" Trump from campaigns may signify an ideological reorientation and an attempt to attract moderate voters who may have been alienated by the controversial image of the former president.
