GOP begins to look for new 2024 candidates amid fears over Trump

A growing number of Republicans are openly cheering for a competitive primary field in 2024 and encouraging candidates to jump into the race, as some in the GOP get increasingly anxious about the idea of Donald Trump becoming their presidential nominee again -- especially amid damning revelations about his actions during the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a member of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said that the party has a "lot of good options" and he hopes "they all jump in" to the race. The Texas Republican added that he does not think Trump would be the automatic frontrunner if he decides to launch a third White House bid.
Senate Minority Whip John Thune told CNN that there will be "other attractive" Republican candidates in 2024 besides Trump, echoing recent comments from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who predicted it will be a crowded field.

Trump will lose spectacularly if he attempts to run for president again.

Most American politicians on both sides are incompetent.

Trump 2024

I will donate $1,000 to any charity if you post something positive about Biden.

There you go. I'd appreciate it if you would donate your $1000 to a charity that supports veterans.

Oh, by the way. Trump will never be president again. Sorry for you.

"I'd appreciate if if you would donate your $1000 to a charity that supports veterans."

I second that.
However, NOT to Fat Donnie's charity that scams vets.

I am a US Army veteran and I find Trump's behavior disgusting. Most veterans I know feel the same way.

I've said it before and I say it again: thank you for your military service to this country.

It has to be on the main page. I forgot to add that stipulation.

Of course. You are just another hypocritical Trump supporter. You asked me to post something positive that Biden has done. I did that and then you run away like a dog with its tail between his legs. I doubt you even have an extra $1000 to donate anyway.

The article is from CNN so it's not exactly credible. I hope there is good primary season to determine who is the best candidate for the Republicans and that may be someone else besides Trump.

Looking at the potential GOP 2024 field – which also includes former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and many more who are allied with the faith and family movement – Reed said, "it’s an embarrassment of riches and we’re honored and humbled and thrilled to have so many of them at this conference."
