Ben Shapiro Calls Trump’s Iowa Win ‘The Most Amazing Political Comeback… Since Richard Nixon’

Ben Shapiro lauded Trump’s landslide win in Iowa by calling his rebirth to political prominence, “the most amazing political comeback” since Richard Nixon.

On his Daily Wire podcast, Shapiro likened America to being the setting for what he called “The Trump Show.”

“We’re all living in The Trump Show. Since 2015, it’s now 2024,” Shapiro said. He then expounded on his metaphor:

Season 9 of Trump got greenlit, it got greenlit like during Season 6. So, the fact that Donald Trump has stuck around so long, it is an amazing durable story. I mean, It’s the most amazing political comeback, in a sense, since Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon ran as vice president with Dwight Eisenhower. And then in 1960, he lost very narrowly to JFK. And then he went out into the wilderness, and then he came back in 1968, he won a sweeping victory against Hubert Humphrey…This is that.

Shapiro went on to explain why Republicans are so enthralled with Trump:

The fact that Trump won in 2016, lost fairly narrowly in the electoral college in at 2020, then has stuck around and come back and stuck around — he never really went away — in 2024 is, just on any level, is an amazing story. And the American peopled love an amazing story. And they kinda want to see the end of this movie — they want to see the end, what is the end of the Trump movie? How does season 9 of Trump end? That is, I think, what’s in a lot of Americans’ minds. Right, left, and center. And the story is a lot less interesting when Trump isn’t a part of it.

He ended his segment by predicting, “The ‘coming home effect’ of the Republican Party is on. Everybody is going to flow behind Trump, that’s the way this is going to go.”
