"The Republican primary will be about Donald Trump, and he will probably win, and then the general election will be about Donald Trump, and he will probably lose."

Why It Matters: Trump and Democratic candidate President Joe Biden are currently polling ahead of others in their respective fields and a rematch between the two is still a strong possibility.
Recent polls have indicated that the ex-president is dominating the Republican presidential primary field but lagging slightly behind President Biden in the general election. As per a May Quinnipiac University poll, the 76-year-old Trump had 56% support from GOP voters, while his primary opponent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, sits at 25% support among the same voters. Yet in the overall election, Biden held a slight lead over Trump among registered voters, with 48% to 46%.
