Eric Swallwell serves Trump notice he has a 'helluva math problem' after latest primary results

Reacting to the latest primary results that show Donald Trump has not consolidated conservative support for his third bid for the Oval Office, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) offered some friendly advice to the former president that the numbers likely won't be there in November for him.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," the California Democrat — and Trump antagonist — claimed that Trump may be the GOP frontrunner, but his outreach to voters is coming up short with a substantial number of Nikki Haley voters professing they won't vote for him if he is the GOP's presidential nominee in 2024.

"I'm hearing the concerns about uncommitted voters in Michigan and the president [Joe Biden] has work to do there, certainly, but when you look at Michigan, ten different counties voted for 30 percent or more for Nikki Haley," he elaborated. "Across the board in the primaries, 30 percent of Republican voters say they are never going to vote for Donald Trump."

"That is a helluva math problem for Donald Trump, especially when you look back in 2020 it was only 5 percent of Republican voters who said they were never going to vote for Donald Trump — he has a real math problem here," he continued. "He has a ceiling that keeps coming down every week when he shows us and reminds us who he is. Every day that Nikki Haley stays in this race, it shows Joe Biden who the voters are that are gettable for him in the campaign."
