The future of the American political landscape is at a crossroads as the 2024 presidential race heats up. The Republican base is clearly demonstrating who they believe the next commander-in-chief should be, and the choice is clear: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the top choice among passionate Republicans.
The latest polls paint a picture of a clear contrast between the two political parties. The Marquette University national poll found that 64% of registered Republicans would pick DeSantis over former President Trump as the 2024 nominee. Additionally, DeSantis outperforms Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, receiving 45% of the vote compared to Biden’s 38%.
The trend is consistent across the nation, with a December USA Today poll showing DeSantis leading Biden 47% to 43%. In New Hampshire, a crucial early state in the presidential nomination process, DeSantis is leading the GOP pack with 42% of likely Republican voters selecting him as their top choice for president.
A recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist national poll revealed that former President Trump still has a strong hold on the Republican base with 45% of Republican and Republican-leaning independents supporting him in the 2024 race. Meanwhile, Biden continues to lead the Democratic field with 35% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents supporting him for re-election.
The pool of Republican contenders is starting to take shape, with former President Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley both expected to announce their runs in the near future. Other rumored GOP candidates include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former Vice President Mike Pence.
While Biden has not yet announced his re-election decision, rumors are swirling that he will run again. However, the Fox News sources confirmed that an announcement on his 2024 campaign plans will not come until after the State of the Union on Feb. 7.
In conclusion, the passion and determination of the Republican base is evident, with DeSantis emerging as the clear front-runner among Republicans. As the nation prepares for the upcoming election, the choice is clear – Republicans need a leader who will stand strong and unapologetic against the liberal agenda, and Ron DeSantis is the man for the job.
