ORLANDO, Fla. – Former President Donald Trump easily won the 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gathering this weekend in Florida.
Trump, who’s repeatedly flirted with making another presidential run in 2024 to try and return to the White House, captured 59% of ballots cast in the anonymous online straw poll, according to results announced by CPAC on Sunday afternoon.
The former president, who remains the most popular and influential politician in the Republican Party as he continues to play a kingmaker's role in GOP primaries, won 55% support a year ago in the CPAC Orlando straw poll. Trump jumped to 70% support in the 2024 straw poll conducted last July at CPAC in Dallas.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in a distant second in the new survey, at 28%, up from his 21% standing in both CPAC straw polls from last year. No one else among the 19 names listed on the ballot cracked 2%.
Trump’s strong performance comes on the unscientific survey as no surprise. CPAC, long the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives, has become a Trump-fest since his 2016 presidential election victory.
Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich touted on Twitter that the former president "continues to grow the conservative MAGA movement, which includes growing his political dominance"
DeSantis, a first-term governor who soared in popularity among conservatives nationwide for his resistance to lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic, easily topped a second 2024 ballot question – without Trump on the hypothetical ballot.
DeSantis grabbed 61% support on that question, with two-thirds of Trump supporters from the first question backing the Florida governor.

VP DeSantis with 8 years as president following Trump. I could get on board with that.
We could finally get the country back on track.
Clean out the Deep State!

It would be a good look for one term.

Some well-known psychic guy predicted this months ago, and said they would win.
Psychic guys are not any worse than Dem pollsters.

"Not if PDJT doubts his loyalty." If President Trump doesn't want Gov. DeSantis that is fine with me.

Florida freepers wont let him go and he’s stated he’s enjoying his job as Gov. Desantis won’t be effective as VP, unless you put him as State to clean up that corrupt org.
