THESE ARE THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024 — AND WHO ELSE MIGHT
JUMP INTO THE RACE

By Tess Bonn

The 2024 GOP field is getting more crowded.



Several Republicans are seriously considering throwing their hat into the ring
for the 2024 presidential nomination, potentially giving Donald Trump a run for
his money.

In February, Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and ambassador
to the United Nations, became the first major political figure to officially
mount a challenge against the former president. Since then, several other
notable candidates have jumped into the race, more recently including South
Carolina Senator Tim Scott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

But keep in mind, it’s still early in the race and the Republican field is
expected to grow over the next several months substantially. Here’s a look at
who’s already running for the Oval Office — and who else could soon join the
ranks.


THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024


DONALD TRUMP 

Just a week after November’s midterms, former President Trump became the first
to jump into the 2024 Republican primary, vowing to make “America great and
glorious again.” Though Trump still enjoys broad support among GOP voters, some
within the party blame him for their disappointing performances in the 2022
election cycle after several of his hand-picked candidates, like former
Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, faced unexpected losses.

He also faces some major legal roadblocks. On March 30, he became the first
former president to be indicted in a hush-money case involving a $130,000
payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. But Trump has made it made it
clear that a criminal conviction won’t stop him from running for president. “I’d
never drop out, it’s not my thing,” the former president told Fox News’s Tucker
Carlson.


RON DESANTIS

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took to Twitter alongside Elon Musk to announce his
bid for the White House on May 24… only to run into some technical difficulties.
The Twitter livestream event crashed as more than 500,000 users logged on to
hear the news — “kind of melting the servers,” as event co-host David Sacks put
it. The announcement was delayed about half an hour, and ultimately, about
250,000 users were able to listen in. 

The glitchy dead air interrupting DeSantis’ attempts to launch his campaign was
clearly music to his rivals’ ears. President Biden made an uncharacteristically
spicy response on Twitter, posting a link to donate to his campaign with the
caption “This link works.” Former President Trump’s allies posted a stream of
laughing emojis — and Trump himself took to Truth Social to write: “The
DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER!”

Once he finally got going, DeSantis gave a bit of a mixed impression of his aims
as a candidate. His keenness to emphasize his blue-collar credentials was a
little out of step with the realities of his appeal — which is mainly to college
graduates. He also shared his very online opinions about cryptocurrencies, the
“de-banking” of “politically incorrect businesses,” and “the university and the
ideological capture” — all of which were likely tricky for much of the audience
to follow.

DeSantis avoided mentioning Donald Trump’s name for much of the announcement,
but placed the blame for many of America’s woes on his political appointments,
namely F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray (whose appointment DeSantis approved
of at the time) and Federal Reserve chairman, Jerome H. Powell. A key advantage
he has over Trump — which observers expect him to emphasize in the coming weeks
and months — is his tough stance on issues like abortion, which Trump has
personally vacillated on.

Even though DeSantis has been seen as Trump’s biggest contender, it appears he
may be losing some steam. According to Morning Consult, his polling dropped from
41 to 20 percent, compared to the former president’s 58 percent lead.


NIKKI HALEY

In a video posted on Twitter, Haley announced her candidacy for the Republican
presidential nomination, calling for a “new generational change” in the party,
while also acknowledging how it repeatedly failed to win the popular vote in
seven out of the last eight elections.



Haley’s announcement didn’t come as a surprise — in fact, it had been expected
for months by fellow Republicans, including Trump himself, who found out in
January and encouraged his now-competitor to “follow her heart.” 

Just how much of a chance does she stand against her former boss? Haley has
consistently polled at a low 3 percent — well behind Trump (who’s currently at
47 percent) as well as several other contenders, according to a recent poll from
Morning Consult. But some are already saying not to count her out just yet:
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney told CBS News people might be “surprised to see how
well” she does. If elected, she’d become the first female president and the
first U.S. president of Indian descent.

Haley’s anticipated some of the puffed-up claims that may issue from some of her
competitors — telling CBS’ Face the Nation on May 14 that it’d be dishonest to
pledge something as unrealistic as a federal abortion ban.

 “In order to do a national standard, you’d have to have a majority of the
House, 60 Senate votes and a president. We haven’t had 60 pro-life senators in
100 years,” she explained.

“So the idea that a Republican president could ban all abortions is not being
honest with the American people, any more than a Democrat president could ban
these pro-life laws in the states. So let’s be honest with the American people
and say: Let’s find national consensus. Let’s agree on getting rid of late-term
abortions.”

Wealthy biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy officially announced his candidacy
in February. The 37-year-old has decried what he referred to as a “national
identity crisis” and criticized a focus on diversity from “the woke left.” If
Ramaswamy wins the nomination, he has vowed to get rid of affirmative action,
which helps underrepresented groups gain a foot in the door in education and
employment. (In an ironic twist, Ramaswamy happens to be the son of Indian
immigrants.)

But Ramaswamy’s bid is already looking like a long shot. Other than a profile in
The New Yorker, which dubbed him the “CEO of Anti-Woke, Inc.,” he’s mostly known
in conservative circles for his criticism of the movement around creating
socially responsible investing, which he has slammed for “mixing morality with
consumerism.” He joins a handful of other less prominent Republicans launching
an uphill campaign, including Mayor Steve Laffey and former Montana Secretary of
State Corey Stapleton.


ASA HUTCHINSON

Sticking to his promise to decide by April, Asa Hutchinson announced that he’s
officially running for president. His decision to enter the race came at a
particularly tumultuous time following Trump’s indictment, and in response, the
ex-federal prosecutor has reiterated that the former president “should” withdraw
calling the legal drama “too much of a sideshow and a distraction.”

“I mean, first of all, the office is more important than any individual person,”
Hutchinson, who has long been a critic of Trump. “And so for the sake of the
office of the presidency, I do think that’s too much of a sideshow and
distraction, and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process.”

Hutchinson, who served eight years as the governor of Arkansas, has been
carefully weighing a presidential run before formally joining the fray on April
2. Having branded himself as the “non-Trump” candidate, he has been ramping up
his criticism of the former president in recent months, calling him the “worst
scenario” for Republicans.

“I hear people talk about the leadership of our country, and I’m convinced that
people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to
our worst instincts,” Hutchinson said during an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”


TIM SCOTT

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott declared himself a 2024 contender after launching
an exploratory committee and expanding his super PAC. He filed the required
paperwork through Federal Election Commission on May 19th and formally launched
campaign three days later.

Scott’s decision to run was prompted by his tour of early primary states,
including Iowa, New Hampshire and his home state, South Carolina. “I have found
that people are starving for hope. They’re starving for an optimistic, positive
message that is anchored in conservative values,” he told Fox and Friends.

Some saw this coming, though. Though his publisher claimed it was an error, he
hinted at a presidential bid in his book, America: a Redemption Story, in which
he calls for unity and underscores the need for bipartisanship. As the Senate’s
only Black Republican, he has been known to work with Democrats on various
issues, including police reform. 


THE REPUBLICANS WHO MIGHT RUN FOR PRESIDENT


MIKE PENCE 

Former Vice President Mike Pence has been no stranger to expressing his
presidential aspirations. “I think we’re going to have new leadership in this
party and in this country,” Pence told CBS News in a recent interview. 

But he’s also made it clear that he’s in no rush to make any official plans. In
response to whether he’ll make a formal presidential announcement, he told CBS
in the same interview that he still has time to decide, and he plans to continue
to listen to Americans as he traverses the country to promote his new memoir, So
Help Me God. That said, recent discoveries of classified documents at his
Indiana home have widely been viewed as a possible threat to his potential run
for office. 


MIKE POMPEO

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is seriously eying a bid for the White
House. In January, he told CBS News plans to decide on a presidential run “in
the next handful of months.” Like many of his other potential rivals, he has a
new book out, Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love, which many
see as a launching pad for his potential 2024 bid. 

If Pompeo decides to jump into the Republican primary, he would — like Haley —
be up against his former boss, Trump. Unlike many of his fellow Republicans,
Pompeo served all four years of the Trump administration, serving as both CIA
director and secretary of state. 


CHRIS SUNUNU

Republican Chris Sununu may not be on your radar, but others are taking notice
after he won his fourth term as the governor of New Hampshire. On Sunday, he
told CBS News’s Face the Nation that a 2024 run would be “an opportunity to
change things.”

Though his timeline remains unclear, he has already launched a new super PAC
named after the state’s motto, “Live Free or Die,” which is geared towards
raising funds that could be directed towards his presidential campaign.


RICK PERRY

Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry told CNN on May 15 that he hasn’t “written
off” the idea of joining the race, and pointedly distanced himself from Donald
Trump, quipping: “He may get to hear me call him names again.” Regarding the
timing of a potential announcement, he added: “If you’ll recall, I didn’t
announce for president in 2011 until August, so we’ve got a lot of time left.”


WHO ELSE MAY RUN IN 2024?

Other Republicans to keep an eye on include: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin,
former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney, Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie,
and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
