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.

Trump defied Brian Kemp, endorsed his losing primary opponent, and then stupidly endorsed Stacey Abrams.
Even then, Trump's MAGA base in Georgia understood the catastrophe of Abrams winning and defied Trump, coming home to Kemp.
They'll do the same for DeSantis.
Sure, a small handful of disgruntled FReepers may sit it out and pout but DeSantis will more than make up for them in winning the votes of independent and swing voters to whom Trump is toxic.
I do blame him for not admitting that the vaccines kill people.Says little Johnny One Note.
The Hill,is. LEFT WING BIASED RAG.
Don’t believe anything you read in the democrat left wing biased media.
ANYTHING !!!
But I do blame him for not admitting that the vaccines kill people.
Not all the vaccines were the same the later ones aka Brand X did.
And still doing it
this is called leftist narrative building.... they need someone who is popular to break ranks and get into a political fight.
In 2015-16 when Trump surged in PA and much of the rust belt, h attracted Democrats and independents.
But currently neither Trumpers nor other Republicans reach out and welcome non-Republicans. GA is the top example.
Republican policies made jobs boom in GA. Naturally the unemployed who want to work immigrated from the Rust Belt cities to GA. Enough of them were ready to convert to swing voters, or Republicans, for GA to continue to be solid RED.
But neither the Jody Hice Trumper Republicans nor the Kemp Republicans... nor the Nathan Deal Republicans (which are not the Kemp Republicans) nor the Republican Assembly Republicans have reached out or welcomed converted Democrats.
Most voters out there are at heart, swing voters.Voters who lean Democrat just don’t feel welcome when they move toward the Republicans.
That’s nothing, look up what they predicted about Trump 8 years ago.
Can you list 8 or 10 news sources you consider respectable.
One of the most biased, Left-Wing, Anti-Trump publications out there?The Hill, Murdoch (aka Fox) News, NY Post,
Not that any of them want/prefer DeSantis, it's just that they DON'T want Trump...ever.
BTW, has DeSantis announced to The Hill, or anyone, that he's running?
“Two weeks to flatten the curve” was a Fauci lie. “Safe and effective” was a Fauci lie.
It’s not his fault he put his faith in Fauci.
But it’s time to admit his mistakes.
Trump is the only candidate I support, but if he doesn’t disavow the vaccines they are going to bury him with blame.
Pointless astroturf...
The Hill articles aren’t even worth posting here anymore.
We get the same wanked out propaganda from 50 other sources.
And water is wet. Really went out on a limb huh?
Dittos, After Trumps 2nd term DeSantis will make a Great president
Yep.
Mike Jaco interviewing some special-force mil types, were estimating the fraud at the federal level. Selection of ‘winners’ according to the guests were 75-80% by one, and 95% by another.
The best cure is exposure, which is in-progress. It’s a tough slog, though, as you well know.
The death rates of the shots didn’t happen at the start it was a later on when to toll kicked up with the lets test this gig a lot needs to be looked into on it true.
Trump has the same problem in reverse
They installed Joe with no problem. Deep state cabal did what they had to do to make it happen. They’ll do it again.

Effin subject is over and done with
Retarded Never Trumpers
