45th President Donald J. Trump
President Trump has handily mopped the floor with his opponents since he announced his 2024 candidacy last November. He is leading by an average of 30 to 40 points in most GOP primary polls, demonstrating significant political power on a national level.
Harvard-Harris polling, for example, found that Trump held a whopping 42-point lead over the runner up, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The only contender in the election with a track record of presidential success to support his audacious new Agenda47 agenda is Donald Trump. He has pledged to protect the southern border, put a stop to the war in Ukraine, and eradicate Deep State corruption. His steadfast opposition to Washington elite leaders has won him the favor of regular Americans.

“They’re not coming after me,” Trump said in March. “They’re coming after you. I’m just standing in their way, and I always will stand in their way.”
Governor Ron DeSantis
In the last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) joined the presidential race after months of speculation as to whether he would launch a campaign for the 2024 GOP primary. DeSantis deviated from the norm and announced his candidacy on Twitter Spaces, alongside billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

According to RSBN, DeSantis’ program is largely focused on eradicating the “woke mind infection” that has infected the American military, entertainment industry, and academic institutions. He has also underlined the need to restore institutional dignity and economic equilibrium. However, he has not yet presented specific policy proposals addressing these challenges, and as of yet, he has not mentioned foreign policy.
DeSantis is a well-liked conservative figure, and as the months go by, his campaign will undoubtedly start to take shape more firmly. The governor of Florida is currently trailing Trump in the polls by a wide margin. According to a recent Marquette poll, Trump received 46% of GOP primary voters’ support to the governor’s 25%.
Per RSBN, DeSantis stated during a town hall event on Wednesday night, “We should choose a new direction, a path that will lead to American revitalization. We need to restore sanity to our nation, normalcy to our communities, and integrity to our institution
Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley, a former Republican governor of South Carolina and United Nations ambassador, has not fared well in the political contest for the GOP primary nomination in 2024. In the vast majority of GOP political polls, she consistently scored at around 4 or 5 percent. For instance, Marquette discovered that she received only 4% of GOP voters’ primary votes.
When Haley publicly criticized President Trump’s handling of the Capitol protests in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, she received criticism from MAGA fans. RSBN reported shortly after Haley’s declaration in February that she had received 16.4% of the GOP primary vote in her home state of South Carolina, compared to Trump’s 35.1 percent.
Ramaswamy, Vivek
Prior to declaring his campaign in February, Ramaswamy was mostly unknown to most GOP voters, but since then, he has gained popularity among conservative journalists and talk show hosts thanks to his calm interviews and persuasive policy arguments. Ramaswamy is largely self-funded, Politico claims, thanks to his huge financial reserves from years of investing and working as a pharmaceutical Executive.
He is also the New York Times bestselling author of several books, including “Woke: Inc: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam” and “Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.”
Senator Tim Scott
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (R) entered the presidential fray in May, bringing a message focused on optimism and encouragement for beleaguered American voters.
“I’m living proof that America is the land of opportunity. Made in America,” he wrote on Twitter. “That’s my story. To the radical Left that says we’re an evil declining country, I say the truth of my life disproves your lies. I have faith in America & our president should too.”
He has stated that he would be a president “who destroys the liberal lie that America is an evil country.”
President Trump notably endorsed Sen. Scott in his 2022 reelection campaign bid last year.
