To state the obvious: Former President Trump remains the dominant force in the GOP and the most popular figure among Republican voters.
As Trump flirts with a 2024 presidential run to regain the White House, the early data clearly shows that if the nomination race were held today, the former president would be the overwhelming favorite.
Without Trump in the race, a new survey conducted by a GOP pollster who worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign and the then-president’s 2020 reelection campaign, points to former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov.

But with no formal 2024 announcement from Trump expected anytime soon, the former president will continue to dominate all 2024 discussions going forward.

Pence the Traitor?
Yeah right!
LOLOL!!

He’s toast, Jim.
The fact that Pence is even being named is one reason the GOP will never be reformed. Not to mention Rubio and Romney even getting a small number of votes in the straw poll at CPAC. There’s way too many loonies out there who will vote for these RINOS.
Under no circumstances will I vote for Pence, ever.
Fox News is pumping up Pence.
They’ll run out of air pretty quickly, and Pence will look like last month’s birthday balloon.
Wow Faux is sure working hard to lift their globalist Pence up, aren’t they?
First they announce he’ll narrate their Rush Limbaugh special, and, now this phony baloney, plastic banana nonsense.
Who do they think they are with this propaganda? The DNC?
and Pence will look like last month’s birthday balloon
He already does.
Pompeo/DeSantis
Headlines that make one LOL.
Believes Global Warming Fraud.
Pence?
Really?
Not believing that.
If nothing else Trump will see to it that the backstabbing swamp critter doesn’t become the nominee.
Pence? Hilarious.
FOX is lying about Pence.
Pence will end up where Dan Quayle ended up in his Presidential bid in 2000 (after his Vice Presidency) — out of the race before the first Primary.
