Quote of the Day
“If America were dominated by old, white, election-denying Christians who didn't go to college, former President Trump would win the general election in as big of a landslide as his sweep of the first four GOP contests. Why it matters: It's not.”
Trump was declared the winner of yesterday's South Carolina's Republican Party the second that polls closed, but some top Republicans are worried about the general election in November.
