Trump advisors are shocked that they can't get Republicans to show up to his events, NYT reporter says

• Aides to Donald Trump are surprised that few allies are coming to his events, Maggie Haberman said.

• Some former allies have turned against Trump, and his 2024 campaign has struggled to gain momentum.

• Trump is planning to gear up his campaign at an event in South Carolina this week.

Aides to former President Donald Trump are surprised by how few allies are showing up at his 2024 campaign events, New York Times star reporter Maggie Haberman said.

Speaking on CNN Tuesday, Haberman discussed how Trump's 2024 campaign has gotten off to a slow start, and his plans to gear it up at a campaign event in South Carolina on Saturday.

"I think they are also finding, his team, that people are not swelling around him in the Republican Party in these states the way they had believed," she said.

"Now he still has supporters and still has his operation, it's pretty small. I think they thought they would be able to get all of these people to just show up for him."
