When it comes to Republican contenders in 2024, all eyes are on Donald Trump.
Most pundits agree that if he decides to run, he is likely to get the GOP nomination.
A new poll seems to confirm this, as Trump has a massive lead over other possible contenders.
Breitbart News reports:
Poll: Trump Towers over 2024 Field, Has 40-Point Lead over Next Closest Competitor
A 2024 Republican presidential primary poll shows former President Donald J. Trump holding a colossal 40-point lead over the rest of the potential field if he decides to run.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, obtained by the Hill, reveals that Trump drew 56 percent of respondents’ support, while 16 percent chose Gov. Ron Desantis (R-FL), making him the second leading candidate. Former Vice President Mike Pence garnered seven percent of the response if Trump were to run.
Trump has repeatedly teased and hinted at a 2024 bid since December 2020, including at CPAC earlier this year and a Georgia rally in March. He more recently told the New Yorker he is “very close to making a decision.”
Trump recently spoke about the possibility squaring off with DeSantis in the 2024 primaries.
“I don’t know if Ron is running, and I don’t ask him,” he told the New Yorker. “It’s his prerogative. I think I would win.”
Lots of people are speculating about the possibility of a Trump/DeSantis ticket in 2024.
FOX News commentator Tammy Bruce seems to love the idea:
A Trump/DeSantis ticket would not only win but would save the Republic after monstrous attempts by Dems to destroy it.

Anything can happen between now and 2024 but these early indicators are very positive for Trump.
Will anyone be surprised if he runs again?
To early to talk about POTUS election now.
Better that we all focus on this years midterms..that is if there is a LEGAL midterm election at all.
Vote for the people they fear.
I disagree.
Personally, I can walk and chew bubble-gum at the same time.
So many polls. So many results. It’s almost as if they’re as realiable as horoscopes.
That can’t be, every other poll has DeSantis running away with it because he’s young and isn’t mean.
On that note, I’m a fan of DeSantis. He’s doing great things in Florida. His latest comments about California companies moving east is a great example.
DeSantis concerned liberals will move to Florida from ‘dumpster fire’ San Francisco

“There is cause for concern,” DeSantis said on Monday, according to Fox News. “Texas would have all these companies moved from California over the years. So you’d have companies move from San Francisco to Austin, and they’d bring hundreds of employees with them. And those employees would vote the exact same way they voted that turned San Francisco into the dumpster fire that it is.”
This is something Rick Perry started, Abbott has continued and Kemp has embraced. Welcoming, with open arms, all these Leftists. In Perry’s case, IIRC, he spouted off about how they would all become Texans. Yeah...not so much. None of them are going out and buying F150s or Silverado’s and taking up deer hunting.
President Trump, they say he’ll be too old. If he still has his wits about him, who cares. But, if/when he’s re-elected....PAYBACK will sure be a bitch for so many of them. He knows the game now. Better than they do. Hell hath no fury.
After that, he can hand the reins to DeSantis and things might just get right.
TRUMP 2024!
Accept no substitutes!
Most republicans are basically good people. This is one of the reasons for his lead. We know he was cheated out his second term. In terms of the county’s well being he was the best President in our lifetime.
Dems are voting for Trump to run in 2024. They think they have the election ‘fortified’ even better next time.
I think it’s time to start with a clean slate. Let the games begin.
Anyone who is MAGA will be treated the same as Trump. Before becoming the worst villain of modern times, Trump was a popular media personality with a long-running TV show. Once he became POTUS, he was "worse than Hitler".
One election at a time. They need to concentrate on 2022.
2024 comes down to Anybody But Biden.
Anybody But Biden 2024.
Voters. And they're the ones who hopefully get to decide who our next President will be.
The younger demographic has turned on Biden harder than any of his support from 2020. At least part of this is likely due to their feeling that he is simply too old.
Trump still appears to have all his wits about him. The problem if he runs against a younger Democrat in 2024 is the argument that he may not keep all those wits during a four-year presidency. There isn't really a good response to that because there is no guarantee that a guy that old will remain equally sharp during all of the next four years.
They’re scared that any conservative will win in 2024. They just hate Trump on a very visceral level.
“Personally, I can walk and chew bubble-gum at the same time.”
Good for you. Gum isnt good for your teeth though.
