Donald Trump may have won the primary, and gotten the positive press that comes with such a victory, but his niece suggests the media missed some bad news for the former president.
Trump will officially be the leader of his party going into 2024, but exit poll data that went under the radar shows the ex-president will have a tough time in the general election, according to psychologist Mary Trump. Mary Trump has in the past spoken about her uncle's perceived vulnerabilities.
"Donald will inevitably clinch the Republican nomination, but the media ignored key exit data that shows a clear path to Donald LOSING in 2024. It’s game on," Mary Trump wrote.

Mary Trump said that watching her uncle emerge victorious was "horrifying," but that she saw some light at the end of the tunnel.
"The idea that Donald could win a single vote, let alone an election, is almost too much to bear," according to Mary Trump. "However, the exit data show something promising – how WEAK Donald will be in the general."
She continued:
"When I hear what some Republican voters are actually saying, I feel hope – not because we know anything with certainty, but because a path to defeat Donald is clearly emerging."
According to Mary Trump, the part of the "inspiring data" was based on Nikki Haley having accomplished something "important."
"She helped to cultivate a significant and growing electorate — Never-Trump Republicans," she wrote, adding that the key for defeating Trump is finding and convincing "Republicans who previously voted for Donald, but are now waking up."
"One of the reasons we know this is a real possibility is because these voters are engaged," the psychologist added.
Regarding the troublesome exit polls, Mary Trump pointed to "warning signs."
"Consider CNN’s exit poll data, which Manu Raja called a 'warning sign' for Donald in the general election," she wrote Wednesday. "A significant 66% percent of Haley voters said Donald is not physically or mentally fit to be president. A vast majority, 81% of Haley voters, said they’re not an automatic vote for Donald."
She added: "According to ABC News, In Virginia, a plurality of Haley voters said they approved of the job Joe Biden was doing as president. In North Carolina, the number was 50%. Haley voters have much more in common with Biden voters."
