WATCH: Scarborough Breaks Down Recent Poll Showing DeSantis Beating Trump

This primary season has given Donald Trump the opportunity to show the power of his brand. But his chosen candidates are not doing all that well. He backed losers in Charles Herbster, Janice McGeachin, and Madison Cawthorn. Mehmet Oz is in a recount and Herschel Walker has faced constant controversy.

Trump’s loss could be Ron DeSantis’ gain. A recent straw poll taken in Wisconsin showed the Florida governor leading the 45th President. During Monday morning’s show, Joe Scarborough broke down why that may be happening.

“You look at what happened in Nebraska,” the host began, “the Ricketts political machine crushed Donald Trump in Nebraska. You look at Pennsylvania, they’re in a run-off right now. It looks like they’re going to have a recount right now. Two out of three voters in the Republican primary in Pennsylvania voted against Donald Trump’s choice. Now you go to this GOP straw poll. You know, straw polls may not mean a lot, but they do in Donald Trump’s party.”

Scarborough continued, “What my reporting is finding is that another group of the conservative base is also very excited about Ron DeSantis, in part because they’re so tired of Donald Trump. That would be the Murdoch faction of the conservative movement, telling people close to them that they are fans of Ron DeSantis and have had enough of Donald Trump.”
