Donald Trump is facing doubts from Republicans, including strategists and donors, about his strategy to win back the White House as they fret he will be unable to recover the momentum lost to Kamala Harris in recent weeks.
Republicans are not panicking about Trump’s chances but are anxious about his failure to mount effective attacks on the vice-president and his embrace of fringe politicians such as Robert F Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard.
“If he continues down this path, he’ll lose,” Eric Levine, a New York bankruptcy lawyer and a prominent Republican donor, told the Financial Times. “The only way you’re going to get those voters who are going to Harris . . . is to change strategy.”
