The “Who is running in 2024?” tea leaves thread

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

ALREADY IN:

Trump
Ramaswamy
Haley
Hutchinson
Scott
Elder


NOT IN YET, BUT DEFINITELY IN:

Pence
DeSantis
Christie


MAYBE:
Sununu
Bolton
Suarez
Burgum
Youngkin

Youngkin returns to the list. Bugrum remains at Maybe but could move up soon, ditto Suarez and Sununu. List will look quite different next week if Pence, Christie, and DeSantis all join as expected.



I know some people run just to boost publicity, but Youngkin seeming to be dipping his toes at getting back in after already saying he was out for good is wild to me.

Also who is Bugrum for? Who looks at a field like this and goes "You know what we're missing? The Governor of North Dakota." The more of these clowns run, the more Trump's just gonna say "There's no point for me to be on a stage with all these has-beens and never-weres" and just skip the debates.

You forgot Rand Paul and Ted Cruz

They're not running.

He looks like a president from a movie, but not like one where the president is prominently featured

He looks like Matthew McConaughey's father.

Cory Booker and Mitt Romney also had this same problem IMO

A yoga ball in every office!

I’d vote for Burgum if I were a Republican primary voter (not that he has any chance or that I would vote for him in the general.

Chris Sunnunu will make his 2024 decision in the next week or two.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said Sunday he will decide “in the next week or two” if he wants to mount a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and enter an already crowded field of candidates.

“When I start doing something, I’m 120% in,” the governor said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview with Jake Tapper. “Pretty soon, we’ll make a decision, probably in the next week or two. And we’ll either be go or no-go,” he added.

There is a LOT of Twitter chatter/rumors that pence’s iowa campaign will be run by legendary iowa radio host/evangelical Bartleby Van Ookerstok

Would be a big hire for western Dutch areas of the state

Chris Christie to announce on Tuesday at Saint Anselm College.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to announce his candidacy in the 2024 race on Tuesday, according to three sources familiar with his plans.

Christie, who also ran in 2016 and has been outspoken against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, will make the announcement at a town hall at Saint Anselm College.

Why is Burgum announcing on the same day as the former VP?

Doesn't make any sense to me: it just means you have less publicity and Burgum doesn't have the luxury of high name recognition. Why isn't he waiting for another week or month?

If Burgum had any common sense or political instincts, he wouldn't announce in the first place!  Unless, of course, he knows he's not running to win, but rather to fundraise for a super PAC, or try to leverage some future appointment, or just raise his national profile for whatever reason.

Because he's not running for President, he's running for a cabinet position.

I could see him being picked for Energy, what with all the oil and nukes in his state

Trump isn't gonna pick an establishment "pro-democracy" GOP politician who ran against him for ANY position in government (sorry Tim Scott!) so my guess is if that is true (which I doubt) then he would be gunning for a DeSantis cabinet position. Honestly that doesn't make his political skills seem much better.

His addition to the debate would be a net positive, so he'll probably decline because we can't have nice things from the GOP.

Could he still run for NH reelection after getting smoked in the presidential race?

It doesn't look like he's running for reelection regardless of what decision he makes in the Presidential race.

No idea who Trump would pick but remember sabe in 2016 no one had any idea it would be Pence, who is the boringest man alive in comparison.

Tbf that’s kind of why Trump chose him

If I had to pick someone if I was trump I’d pick Cynthia Lummis of Kim Reynolds. Solid conservative, younger, but not young enough to make trump look old

Lummis endorsed DeSantis. She has been badmouthing him.

I think Kim Reyonlds is likely on his list.

That’s surprising, so yea Lummis is persona non grata to him now

I wonder if Doug Ducey is going to get in.

He's been fairly quiet since leaving office.

He could make the electability argument with his record of winning the state of Arizona.

Not that he'd actually win the nomination or anything.
