DeSantis, Pence top 2024 Republican primary surveys – if Trump doesn’t run
Fox News ^ | 3/5/2021 | Paul Steinhauser

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. Ron DeSantis as the early favorites in what may end up being a large field of GOP White House hopefuls.

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

"I think the elephant in the room is obviously Donald Trump," veteran GOP pollster Neil Newhouse told Fox News. "If the election were held today and if he wants the nomination, he’d be the odds on favorite."

Last weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference – the biggest and oldest annual gathering of conservative activists and leaders which is better known by its acronym CPAC – Trump returned to the spotlight for the first time since he left the White House on Jan. 20.

Right, we are all going to line up and vote Pence after his mealy mouth treatment of our greatest President. I’d vote Democrat before him.

Pence, what a joke! I would not vote for him as dog catcher or any thing else. Traitor is the only thing that comes to mind for me anymore.

Pompeo. De Santis is a good Governor. He can run after Pompeo’s second term.

Starting early to cook the election.

But it doesn’t matter at this point. The RATs will never lose again.

Just imagine how sad the 2024 turnout would be if Pence was picked by the GOPe.

Really. Stop it. Pence is not a traitor. His ability to throw out electoral votes was theoretical, and not a very good theory at that. If it had been tried both POTUS and VPOTUS would have been impeached and removed for usurpation of power. Pence should be rejected because he’s a boring dishrag, not because of any fanciful betrayal of Trump

I bet if I were to go through your past posts I’d find someone who is supportive of other GOP-E and Establishment politicians.
