Donald Trump on Sunday downplayed the exodus of top Republicans who have called on him to step aside or rescinded their prior endorsements.
“Tremendous support (except for some Republican ‘leadership’),” the Republican presidential nominee tweeted Sunday morning. “Thank you.”
Indeed, in a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Sunday, likely Republican voters signaled that the party should continue to back Trump. Forty-five percent of likely voters surveyed said Trump should stay in the race (39 percent said he should end his campaign). The results were largely seen through a partisan lens, though. While 70 percent of Democrats said Trump should end his White House bid, only 12 percent of Republicans agreed.
