The stage is set for a crowded GOP presidential primary. Here’s a breakdown of how some of Trump’s top challengers are balancing the line of challenging the former president while keeping him in good graces.
Former President Donald Trump has emerged as the early front-runner in the race, eclipsing his challengers in the polls and stirring rumors about whether 2024 will amount to a rematch between him and Biden. His early dominance has prompted the other GOP contenders to consider their positions in the field carefully and determine just how far to push against the former president while preserving his legacy.
Much of DeSantis’s appeal to voters is that he can provide much of the policies as Trump without the brash personality that has deterred voters closer to the center. The Florida governor is considered to be Trump’s greatest challenger as he has come closest to the former president in the polls, but DeSantis still falls at least 20 points below him in a head-to-head contest.
Haley has repeatedly expressed her desire to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, attacking her challengers, such as Trump and DeSantis, for suggesting the conflict should be settled without U.S. support. Pence has largely avoided criticizing Trump in the public eye, although he has come out against the former president for his account of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
