The 2024 Republican race is no longer a slam dunk for Donald Trump
CNN
For the better part of the last year, when people asked me whether I thought Donald Trump would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024, the answer has been the same: If he runs, he will be.
A new national poll from The New York Times and Siena College released Tuesday -- coupled with a few other recent developments -- have made me reconsider that black-and-white answer.
In the poll, Trump led a hypothetical 2024 GOP field with 49%, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 25%. No other potential candidate -- including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Vice President Mike Pence and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley -- received double-digit support.
President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
