Deep dives
Analysis of the Republican Primary in South Carolina
The Republican primary in South Carolina revealed a significant class split within the party. Voters without a college degree overwhelmingly supported Trump, while those with a college degree showed marginal anti-Trump sentiment. This highlights the strong presence of 'Magginess' in the party, emphasizing that competing for the Republican primary necessitates courting MAGA supporters. Furthermore, it indicates that Trump has a high floor of support but a low ceiling, with many Republicans willing to vote for him against Joe Biden, albeit reluctantly.
