The Hill predicts DeSantis will beat Trump for nomination

The Hill predicted Sunday that Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis will secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination with former President Donald Trump as the runner-up contender.

DeSantis was picked as the top candidate for his double-digit reelection during the midterms and what The Hill calls "his embrace of culture war issues and his opposition to COVID-19–related lockdowns." 

Explaining why Trump was ranked as the second most likely 2024 nominee, the outlet said: "Trump would have been the runaway favorite had these rankings been drawn up the day before the midterm elections. Since then, virtually everything the president has touched has turned bad." 

Trump's controversial dinner with the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes, along with what it called a "lackluster" campaign launch are reasons why The Hill predicts the former president may not be the nominee again.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is considered the third-most likely person to be the 2024 presidential nominee, according to The Hill.

Trump and DeSantis have both been considered top contenders in multiple polls, although DeSantis has not launched a formal presidential campaign.

December's Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll showed that nearly twice as many GOP voters would support Trump over DeSantis in the primary. However, a USA Today-Suffolk University poll released days earlier showed 56% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters supported DeSantis compared to 33% who supported Trump.

The Left gets a bad candidate elected by cheating! It has worked for the last two U.S. election cycles, so far.

Never Trumps here on FR active in their current campaign. Nothing more nothing less. Besides if they keep this up it takes your eyes off electoral fraud.

[navymom1]

Me too. The best Gov ever. And he needs to stay till Florida is recovered from Ian and Nicole.

Yup. 👍

[navymom1]

Bullshit.

[McGruff]

The best thing Desantis can do for his political future is to come out and say he's definitely not running in 2024 and do that soon. He's already hurting his chances for 2028 with the Trump supporters.

Correct Response!

👍👍

Lol

[babble-on]

DeSantis will be the nominee in 2024

[SunkenCiv]

The Shills at The Hill.

[C210N]

Trump nor DeSantis have a chance in ‘24, without fixing the election and voting fraud of ‘20. None.

Where is DeSantis now on the ‘20 fraud???

[Eleutheria5]

DeSantis is not running. Why does everyone assume that everyone wants to be POTUS right now.

[Fresh Wind]

If you listen hard, the Dems/Deep State will tell you who they really want to run against. Hint: It ain’t Trump.

[escapefromboston]

As long as states still have covid voting then no Republican has a legitimate chance of winning . Either because of lazy voters (Dems) mail in their ballots or FBI just stuffs the ballot box again.

[gibsonguy]

Right, can we please stop posting the BS from The Hill? They are down in the sewer with AP and CNN. Just stop.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

The Left would dearly love to renegotiate what they paid per ballot in 2020.

[WildHighlander57]

The swamp wants DeSantis?

The Shrill? LOL.

Right you are. Do you believe that the Republicans are interested in fixing the voting fraud of 2020? I don't. As long as they can keep Trump supporters out of Office by voting fraud, they are satisfied. So don't expect anything to change and you won't be disappointed. Look for the Democrats to steal 2024 just as they stole 2020 and 2022.
