A leading Boston-area talk radio host with a nationally syndicated program says the 2024 GOP presidential nomination is Donald Trump’s to lose.

The former president is so far ahead of his competitors it really makes no sense for anyone to remain in the race, though perhaps they are thinking Trump is eventually going to be found guilty in one of the many cases against him and put behind bars.

Breitbart News’s Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle, on SiriusXM, asked Carr about Trump’s chances to win the nomination despite his four indictments, the latest of which came in Fulton County, Ga., last week, which then resulted in an epic mugshot that immediately went viral and has even led to increased support for the former president from a growing number of black Americans.

“I don’t think there’s any way Trump could be stopped at this point. I mean, especially with as many people as there are in the field, I mean, it’s just going to split it up,” the host of “The Howie Carr Show” on WRKO said.

Carr then reversed the roles and inquired about Boyle’s assessment. The SiriusXM host replied, expressing his belief that Trump is “on a glide path to th nomination.” He drew parallels between the present political climate and that of 2016, going on to note that immigration remains a significant topic of interest among the individuals he has engaged with, which was a prominent 2016 campaign issue for Trump.

The Boston host said the issue is becoming more of a concern in states “far from the border,” such as Massachusetts. However, he went on to say it “is something that’s under the radar again, and it’s not being covered by the mainstream media very much.”

“These illegal aliens are being brought in in states far, far from the border, not just New York State, although that’s where, you know, there’s still a lot of attention, but like in Massachusetts, for instance, just this week, the state took over a hotel in Yarmouth on Cape Cod, sort of a somewhat working class — upper class as well — but mostly working-class area,” Carr said.

“They evicted all the United States citizen tenants, basically. They raised the rent from $300 a week to $700 a week. None of the tenants could afford it. They’re all out on the street, including an 89-year-old woman, and now they brought in illegal aliens for $700 bucks a week. They’ve taken over the entire hotel. The Americans have been evicted,” he said.
