Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence, Steps Down: Who Could Be Next to Follow?
In the political landscape of 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made a significant impact, securing victories among Republicans, Independents, and Democrats in the 2022 elections, marking a historical political landslide statewide. This triumph has propelled him into the spotlight for the upcoming 2024 Republican National Committee (RNC) primaries.
The first RNC debate of the year took place on August 23rd, but notably absent was former President Donald Trump. The debate saw the attendance of big names such as DeSantis, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a successful entrepreneur, has aligned himself with Trump and built a substantial support base. However, as of the latest election polls, he stands at around 2% alongside Senator Tim Scott, who also polls at a similar percentage. Despite some pull in early states, it remains uncertain whether either candidate has the stamina to outpace their rivals.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who also attended the debate, has dropped out of the race for the GOP nomination. With an average of 3.8% in the polls, Pence knows that the nomination is nowhere near his grasp.
Nikki Haley, the former UN Ambassador, currently sits at 8% in the polls, but her position in the race is not uncontested. The GOP is hoping for a consolidation of the race, with the potential exit of Tim Scott, Chris Christie, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Chris Christie, who is popular with the centrist and anti-Trump wing of the party, may find it challenging to regain his former prominence. His day, it seems, has long passed.
As of the available sources, no specific Republican candidates besides Donald Trump have been clearly confirmed for the 2024 primaries against him. The coverage mainly focuses on Trump himself and his political actions, with little mention of other declared primary challengers.
In the current political climate, one fact remains clear: Donald Trump holds an unquestionable and enormous lead over all other GOP contenders. The race for the 2024 Republican nomination is shaping up to be an interesting one, with DeSantis making a strong showing, but Trump remaining the undisputed front-runner.
