WASHINGTON — Lifelong Republicans may not like him, but President Donald Trump thinks they'll show up when it matters on Election Day to stop Democrats from taking the White House.
His inner circle and family members firmly believe that he has the correct read on the electorate. Trump's instincts led to a win four years ago, to the surprise of the political establishment, and he insists there will be a red wave now.
"We continue to say every night the same thing: It feels like 2016 all over again," Lara Trump, a senior campaign adviser, said of conversations with her husband, Eric, who is the president's middle son. "It feels like the media is missing it again. It feels like the polls are wrong again."
