Former President Donald Trump may be dominating the GOP presidential primary field, but his 2024 rivals are still fighting out who will become the heir to the Trump-alternative throne. A poll released on Thursday is giving hope to two of the most prominent non-Trump candidates in the field.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis are tied for second place in a national poll of Republican voters conducted in the days following the first Republican National Committee primary debate last month.The poll was commissioned by the Republican Main Street Partnership and Women2Women in conjunction with Echelon Insights and found that Trump unsurprisingly leads the pack after skipping the debate at 59%.
"Donald Trump is still polling well, and his absence at last month’s debate seemed to do him no harm. Even with a clear second tier occupied by DeSantis and Ramaswamy, the only other candidates in double digits, this is a divided field that only advantages the man with the highest name ID in the world,” said Sarah Chamberlain, president and CEO of the Republican Main Street Partnership.
