Journalist Mark Halperin, in a November 1 post on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, "There is now a 'widespread' 'belief' among lobbyists etc that Trump has 'stalled.' No idea what has caused this belief exactly. DEVELOPING….."

Conservative political consultant Jay Chabria responded, "Lobbyists are the absolute worst pundits. Both in DC and around state capitals. Most of them haven't been on a campaign in decades if they have ever at all."
