FRC Action Chairman Tony Perkins stated of the results, “SAGE Cons (Spiritually Active, Governance Engaged Conservatives) want a proven leader who not only understands the threats to our freedoms but is committed to fighting back against the leftist mob that has weaponized the government against the American people.”
Trump is leading in the race for the White House in more than just the FRC straw poll. According to RSBN, Trump took his biggest lead yet in the 2024 Republican primary polls when he had a huge 46-point lead over Gov. DeSantis in a popular CBS poll.
