Kevin Madden, Republican Strategist:

You're right.

I think it's indicative of some of the tension in his message. I think base Republican voters right now, what really energizes them is Donald Trump being this fighter who can take on the perceived excesses of the left and fight against Joe Biden , everything that he's done wrong and where — the ways took the country in the wrong direction.

But at the same time, one of the big challenges he has is that a lot of more moderate, pragmatic voters, swing voters, they are very upset with the idea that he is constantly relitigating the 2020 election and he is constantly looking backwards.

So the path forward, the way to unify the party and really win over swing voters, if he's going to win the general election in November, has to be focused on a more future-oriented message about the issues that people care about.

Now, he's going to have his own way of talking about those issues, but the economy, immigration, national security, foreign policy problems that we have or challenges that we have around the globe, really focus on those and where he wants to take the country in the future.
