According to a story in USA Today, Trump believes he can win by first solidifying his lead for the Republican coronation next year across multiple national polls.

He then hopes he can muster energy for wins in early state contests such as Iowa and New Hampshire to prolong his candidacy and give it momentum in other states.

Trump will visit Alabama on Friday and speak in a football stadium. The visit is a sign Trump is already looking ahead to a series of contests in the South that could prove important to winning the GOP nomination.

Team Trump is also looking ahead to the general election.

While some have wondered whether the billionaire businessman is already seeing his support hit a ceiling, Trump hopes he can inspire new and frustrated voters to back him in the general election, USA Today reported.
