Donald Trump is reportedly experiencing some turbulence as he transitions to face Joe Biden in the general election.

Trump easily defeated his GOP primary opponents including Ron DeSantis of Florida, but as he moves to take control of the Republican National Committee, there have been some issues, according to Axios.

Trump's campaign is being run by pros.

Stuart Stevens, who was the lead strategist in Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign (before he ran for the Senate), marveled to MSNBC's Alex Wagner about how the ground game to reelect the 45th president is tip-top.
