By all appearances, former President Donald Trump is planning to run for president again in 2024. He is traveling the country holding rallies, staying involved in internal GOP politics and raising vast amounts of money. Reportedly, he was even on the verge of announcing his candidacy this past summer, but advisers talked him out of it to avoid subjecting him to restrictions on fundraising and TV appearances.
But if Trump does run, one thing is clear: The Republican nomination would likely be his for the taking. He remains extremely popular among Republicans.
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted Oct. 15-18 found Trump has an 86 percent favorable rating and just a 10 percent unfavorable rating among Republican adults. And he already dominates early polls of the 2024 Republican primary. A Morning Consult/Politico survey from Oct. 8-11 found that 47 percent of Republican voters would vote for Trump; no other candidate was above 13 percent. And while you should certainly take such an early primary poll with a grain of salt, if Trump is still polling that high come 2023, it actually bodes pretty well for his chances of becoming the nominee. Plus, given Trumps strong influence within the GOP, few other Republican politicians would likely dare to run against him anyway.
A sizable majority of Republicans also actively want Trump to run again. By a 67 percent to 29 percent margin, Republican registered voters told Morning Consult/Politico that Trump should run again, including 51 percent who said he should definitely run. A HarrisX/The Hill poll from Oct. 13-14 similarly found that Republican registered voters supported a third consecutive Trump candidacy 77 percent to 23 percent, including 52 percent who strongly supported it. And Quinnipiac found that 78 percent of Republicans would like to see Trump run again, and only 16 percent would not.

My guess is that Florida governor will be the nominee.

(1,450 posts)They want him back because they want the "free stuff" like not paying taxes, not obeying any laws, ignoring Congress, and not being held accountable for the crimes they commit. That is the real reason they want him back. They will be free to fleece the Federal coffers, grift voters, and break without consequence all the laws they have not yet broken.
Republicans are the true "welfare state." And we should be telling that to everyone night and day.

There is a spectrum of citizens that receive rewards from him as president. Be it money in tax cuts, the validation of their racism, women haters, the list goes on and on. This is why I believe we must win the vast majority of seats for the next decade.
