Donald Trump may have lost his bid for the White House this week, a former Republican lawmaker said on Saturday.
Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to discuss Trump's recent debate, widely perceived as a flop for the former president, as well as Trump's close association with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. Last month, Jolly tore into the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, and the organization's director Kevin Roberts, for their effort to reimpose Christian nationalism on the country.
On MSNBC, Jolly was asked by the host about Trump's latest perceived campaign downfalls.

Jolly said it was "unsettling" that Loomer "is a close adviser now to Donald Trump."
"Now he is getting off the plane for the debate with Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz. He doesn't even have Melania with him, or Jared or Ivanka, none of these so-called stabilizing forces for Donald Trump are now around the former president," Jolly said. "And so you see the performance that we saw Tuesday night in the debate. And you see the disgusting moment where he calls out Haitian immigrants with this lie and conspiracy about eating animals."
He then added, "I would say this... I really mean this. This may be the week that Donald Trump lost the race for the White House. This might be the week."
