The 2024 presidential election may still be three years away, but Republicans have already begun to jockey for their places in the primary.
Former President Trump’s repeated hints that he could mount another bid for the White House remains perhaps the biggest obstacle for other would-be contenders.
While none have spoken definitively about their plans for 2024, many potential candidates have already started networking with GOP leaders and donors in key states while testing out campaign messages in public appearances.

Well I’ve never heard of him.
It’d be easy for Trump to change his official state of residence to New Jersey (his New Bedminster home) prior to nominating DeSantis as his running mate to avoid this should he look to DeSantis as his running mate, if DeSantis wants it.
Like others have pointed out, the state of DeSantis wife’s health will determine if he runs for POTUS in 2024 or is willing to run as Trump’s VP in 2024. DeSantis wife is currently battling breast cancer!
Palin / Paul 2024!
Palin as the Trump-like feisty quote-machine prez. And, significantly, one NOT politically blood-soaked by increasingly insane attitude regarding the thing DJT loves more than my vote - his jabs. Trump is close to claiming he built Noah's Ark, ahead of schedule.
Paul as a potentially historic President of the Senate. Still a tie-breaking vote - no real loss of a Red seat. And who would be better taking a less ceremonial than typical Senate Prez role?
“Desantis will not run if President Trump runs. The rest are toast if President Trump runs.”
yep ...
“If Chris Christie drops out, the field would be reduced by half.”
i assume your metric is gross tonnage ...
DeSantis/Paul, Paul/DeSantis would be my pick.
Some people are above average.
I'd vote for either, but the first option is better regarding appropriate experience levels. DeSantis, the rising / powerful exec. And Paul as Prez of his Senate.
The advantage of DeSantis in DC is that then Trump could do what would actually be best fit for him: King / gov of FL
As advocated before regarding Trump:
As prez again, he'd have 4yrs max. As gov he will have the rest of his working years to reign as the larger-than-life super-exec. At home, not in the DC swamp. This time with a unified functional administration and friendlier legislative branch.
Who better than master deal-maker, big thing-builder and executive extraordinaire DJTrump? To lead the states in a more effective way: by example this time.
As unmasked and unfettered American states learn to compete again. Internally, where competition does the most good. I'd love to see increasingly free red states suck the economies out of the big blues. And Trump cranking up the already powerful FL magnet to steal NY's US House seats. Yeah, NY seats. Specifically NY, I mean. A gov like The Great Don of FL could make that work as a publicly stated goal and then openly pursue it. Both fun and productive.
Agreed. Wholeheartedly.
I’d take Hogan over Christie.
There is no rule that the President and VP can’t be from teh same state, just that the electors from that state can’t vote for both of them.
They make a lot of speeches, and to her credit, Haley made some good speeches.
Nixon, after leaving office, would call the President’s phone and give advice. I could see Trump doing that.
Glenn Beck called DeSantis “Trump without Twitter.” He can be very Trumpian when he wants to.
To a room full of folks who hate America and are despots, but they sure do living in NYC.
She may have made great speeches, but she was nothing more than a mouthpiece for President Trump. And she’s made no secret that she doesn’t think too highly of the guy that gave her the job.
She’ll get propped up and fail miserably. Hopefully she’ll be gone forever. But I guess she can be the resident RINO on CNN, MSNBC, or The View.
The Governor of Kentucky is a Dhimmicrap.
If Trump runs the race is over.
If Trump doesn’t run, then if DeSantis runs the race is over.
That answers all questions.
Larry Hogan?
They were going to run that douche for the Senate.
Slob loyalty to the deep state paying off I see.
JEB answers to mommy now.
I don't even want them for VP.
