The nomination is obviously his if he wants it, and there's no reason he won't run. He'll just spend the next four years criticizing every move of Biden, and run by claiming Biden was a disaster.

Hating the presidency, for one thing. Being entangled in literally all of the legal disputes, for another.

Seriously, I see no reason why this guy - who never wanted to be President in the 1st place, then hated being President each & every single day of his term but only stuck around because being an incumbent offered him temporary immunity (through certain statutes of limitations, too) & because he views being a quitter as an even weaker attribute than being a loser - is gonna voluntarily try & go for it again when he can just as easily grift off his teasing of the deplorables about how he might run (when, for the aforementioned reasons, it feels obvious that he actually won't).

[President Johnson]

Hopefully he'll be in jail by 2024 and facing financial ruin. The US and the world need to move on from this corrupt, immature clown.

[DaleCooper]

Unless Trump is dead, incapacitated mentally or physically, or so steeped in legal trouble and bankruptcy that his life is over, he will run for president again in 2024.

For the record, I do believe that there's a greater than 50% chance that one of those three things happens by 2024, but if they don't then he'll run and will likely have little problem winning the nomination.

[Gracile]

Trump will easily win the nomination if he runs again.

This is all true.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Count me in the 12% of Trump voters who hope he never runs for office again.  In fact, I hope he leaves politics entirely when he's out of office.

While I can see both sides of the will he/won't he argument about Trump, let's all just keep in mind that 2024 is a long way away. This time in 2012, people thought Chris Christie was the obvious choice for the GOP in 2016. A lot can change in 4 years. Of course Trump is Trump and he has a way of defying all laws of psephology, but still, these polls conducted a mere month after the last election aren't predictive of where the GOP will be in a few years.

This, but what's ironic enough is that they have been before. The first GOP primary poll conducted after the 2008 election had Romney in the lead, the first Democratic primary poll conducted after the 2012 election had Hillary in the lead, & the first Democratic primary poll conducted after the 2016 election had Biden in the lead. Obviously, though, correlation doesn't equal causation.

I’m sure the first GOP polls conducted after 2012 didn’t have Trump in the lead, though.

Yes, that was inherent to the post I was quoting.

Donald Trump is the biggest narcissist on the planet. Of course he wants to be the most powerful man on earth, which the president of the US is.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Donald Trump would be happy to never be president. But y'all had to make things personal, dance on his grave, call him a popular vote loser and now a 2-time loser. You're just begging him to run.

[Del Tachi]

Well of course Trump is going to poll as the heavy favorite; he's the incumbent Republican president with near 100% name ID who has been at the center of every political debate for the past 4 years.

Into 2021 and beyond, it becomes harder for the media to try to cover Trump as a legitimate political actor.  He may call into Fox News and hold rallies, but the center of political turmoil in Washington will be occupied by a feuding Biden and McConnell.  Trump doesn't really have a way to inject himself into their drama, and will thus be out of the limelight.

As a former never Trumper who voted for trump this year would you like trump to run in 2024? If he does run would you back him? If he doesn't is there a republican you want to run? I wanna get your take on it the trump voters I know in real life are pretty evenly split on it like half want him to run again and the other half have told me they'd prefer a fresh face but if he runs and is the nominee they d vote fore him again.

There are multiple Republicans I would rather have run and be nominated in '24 than Donald Trump.  Chief among them is my beloved God-Emperor:  The Honorable Ronald Dion DeSantis, Supreme Leader and Governor of the blissful and eternal Sunshine State

Disgusting, but not surprising.

I completely agree. His age is one thing I think a lot of people are overlooking because he didn't appear to age much during his term. But men like Trump often age like Dorian Grey: not at all, then all at once.

[EvilSovereign]

Has Romney even signalled any interest in running again or why is he included in every single one of these polls? Consolidating behind someone without Romney's baggage seems like a much smarter strategy for the NeverTrumpers!

I imagine they're including him because he's literally the only prominent Republican incumbent who has been consistently anti-Trump when it comes to his behavior and disregard for democratic process.

[DaleCooper]

It's also worth noting that not a single Republican has been able to make a name for themselves in the Trump era as far as presidential ambitions go. When it comes to Republican Primaries, if I was a voter in those, I'd basically be an "anybody but Trump" voter and even I would have no idea who to vote for aside from him.

[Mr. Morden]

No.

Huh? What about Cruz, Haley, Hawley, Pence, Noem etc?

[Chips]

Not surprising people.
