"Trump's Election Freeze and the 2024 Presidential Race: A Crash Course in Party Politics"

Donald Trump has adopted a sluggish and lethargic approach to his 2024 presidential campaign, limiting his appearances to "spot" events, TV interviews, and tele-rallies while focusing on manipulating the nomination process and persuading potential donors. Trump's behavior suggests he believes he has already secured both the nomination and the general election, despite it being over a year early. However, his opponents and the voters are likely to wake up and realize that the race is far from over, especially considering Trump's legal troubles and upcoming court dates. Trump's opponents have largely chosen not to challenge him, running on modified Trumpian platforms or conceding the contest without putting up a fight. While lethargy can be a successful survival strategy, it is not foolproof, and Trump risks tempting the fickle election fates by treating the campaign like a cakewalk.
