Elisabeth Bumiller: Republican Brand Is Not As Strong As It Once Was, Largely Because of President Trump

EXCERPT:

BUMILLER: “He's still very strong among Republicans, but the Republican brand is not as strong as it once was, largely because of President Trump. He is having -- we had -- 'The Times' set a poll this week. He has the lowest ratings of both the both of his terms so far in the 30s, as you said. And -- and it's he's also losing some -- some support among Republicans, certainly on the economy. So what you see right now, I think, especially with this deal with the IRS, which would basically give Trump immunity from any audit by the IRS for the rest of his life and for his children. And you sort of see him preparing for trying to inoculate himself after he leaves the White House. He's made a fortune with crypto.”
