Republicans in the Senate say that despite his legal woes, former President Donald Trump is increasingly likely to be the 2024 GOP presidential nominee.
Since March 30, when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted him on multiple felony counts, Trump has doubled his lead in the polls over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, considered his closest rival.
A RealClearPolitics national poll analysis found that Trump led DeSantis by an average of 16 points on the day of the indictment; by May 1, Trump's average polling lead had grown to nearly 30 points over DeSantis.
Trump also has picked up several key endorsements in Congress, including that of National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Steve Daines, R-Mont.
According to Republican senators and party strategists, Daines' endorsement of Trump is an indication that the former president is seen as leading the field for the 2024 nomination.
"I just think that his nomination is inevitable," one Republican senator told The Hill on condition of anonymity. "I really do. He's going to be the nominee. I'd be stunned if he's not.
"You've seen the numbers. I've talked to voters. People are beginning to recognize that. Steve Daines' endorsement reflects that reality. He's going to be the nominee, we want him to work with us."
Another Republican senator who spoke to The Hill on condition of anonymity agreed that Trump is the clear favorite heading into the primary, and said Daines' endorsement serves to pave the way to work with him to win back the Senate.
While Trump has racked up 11 endorsements from Senate Republicans, DeSantis, who has yet to formally declare his candidacy, thus far has not drawn any significant support in the chamber.

Senate republicans a little slow to notice where the American voters/public are.
Which points to what a lot of people notice easily, that our reps in congress do not know how the people feel or what the people really want them to do. IOW, a disconnect between congress and the American people We already know abut the huge disconnect between the Biden/White House and the people.
And the GOP Senate will refuse to back him again.
*our reps in congress do not know how the people feel or what the people really want them to do. IOW, a disconnect between congress and the American people*
The same could be true of our wannabe POTUS-plural. Think Raghead(SC). Pie eater(NJ).
Now, maybe, the R’s in the Senate can line up behind the likely nominee? I mean, after all, YOU’RE ALL IN THE SAME PARTY, DOUCHEB..S!!!!
Try not to slit your own throats, and those of the public, as your political opponents play for keeps and break every rule of civility and every law possible to beat you and take complete power.
You f’ing morons.
You f’ing morons.
