Chasing the Base: For Republican Voters, Trump Transcends Culture Wars
Podcast: WSJ What’s NewsPublished On: Sun Mar 17 2024
Description: After a big re-election win last year, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida is “where woke goes to die.” But the slew of culture-war policies he pushed, from restricting instruction about sexual orientation in schools to cracking down on drag performances, aren’t a top issue for many voters in the presidential race. While Republicans were generally supportive of DeSantis’s policies, they still said they preferred former President Donald Trump for the White House because of his stances on immigration and his record in the White House. WSJ political reporter Jimmy Vielkind travels to central Florida to speak with parents, activists and long-time Republicans about the limits of the culture war and what role they might play in Trump’s re-election campaign.
