They know Trump has no chance in the general election. But they also know Trump is almost certain to get the nomination.

DeSantis has already put a Federalist society member on the Florida Supreme Court. They want Trump out of the way so that DeSantis can get the nomination.

If Trump wins the nomination it pretty much guarantees that Biden will win. It also is likely to reduce Republican turnout overall as there are significant portions of the party who are done with Trump. That will hurt them greatly in other races for the House, Senate, etc.

The earlier they get rid of Trump the better position they are in. That is their motivation.
