2024 GOP hopefuls expected to attend Fall New Hampshire events.
Former President Donald Trump Dominates 2024 Republican Field
Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the 2024 Republican field as he seeks his party’s nomination and the right to a rematch against President Joe Biden. But that’s hardly stopping GOP rivals from hitting campaign events in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.
Exciting Campaign Events in Early Voting States
As the Jan. 15, 2024, Iowa caucuses approach, campaign events in the quartet of early states will be late-planning affairs. But a bunch are already on the books with the potential, in some cases likelihood, of drawing the bulk of the Republican presidential field. It’s a candidates scrum that in addition to Trump includes Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
RISKY BUSINESS: HOW HUNTER BIDEN’S FOREIGN DEALINGS COULD COST HIM ANOTHER INDICTMENT
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley also is in the race. She was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations for nearly two years in the Trump administration after her 2011-17 South Carolina governorship in Columbia. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former Vice President Mike Pence, Trump’s White House understudy from 2017-21, are also running, plus wealthy entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).
Biden doesn’t face top-tier Democratic presidential primary rivals, only new age author Marianne Williamson, who ran in 2020 but came up far short, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the political scion and vaccine conspiracy theorist. Kennedy recently acknowledged his estrangement from much of the Democratic Party establishment, significant portions of which he would need to win over in order to claim the 2024 nomination.
“I’m a pariah. Nobody in the Democratic Party talks to me,” Kennedy said in a Harper’s Magazine interview.
Upcoming Campaign Events
- Oct. 1 (Sunday) – Meet and Greet With Marianne Williamson

- October 27-29 (Friday-Sunday) – The Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit
These events will feature various Republican candidates and thought leaders discussing conservative solutions to today’s issues.
Attendees include Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) and Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA). Both are neutral in the 2024 GOP nominating fight, at least so far. Their planned participation makes the event a desirable one for Republican presidential candidates to appear at, with abundant opportunities to greet potential caucusgoers and meet campaign donors.
Don’t miss out on the latest updates from the Washington Examiner!
Per organizers, “The Summit will feature Presidential candidates, elected officials, and Republican thought leaders from across the nation joining together to discuss conservative solutions to today’s issues.”
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more exciting campaign events!
How has Donald Trump maintained his popularity within the Republican Party and its base?
Edged that he is exploring a potential run for the presidency in 2024, but it remains to be seen if he will gain significant support within the Democratic Party.
Trump’s Continued Popularity
Despite leaving office in January 2021, Donald Trump has managed to maintain a strong hold on the Republican Party and its base. His massive rallies and loyal supporter base have solidified his position as the front-runner in the 2024 Republican field. Many Republicans believe that Trump is the key to winning back the White House and are eager to see him launch a rematch against President Joe Biden.
Trump’s appeal lies in his ability to connect with voters who feel left behind by the political establishment. His populist rhetoric and promises to prioritize American interests have resonated with millions of Americans. Additionally, his strong stance on immigration, trade, and national security have appealed to conservative Republicans who prioritize a tough approach on these issues.
Furthermore, Trump’s America First agenda has gained significant support among Republicans who feel that the United States should prioritize its own interests over global concerns. His tough stance on China and his promises to bring back manufacturing jobs have garnered support from blue-collar workers, traditionally a Democratic voting bloc.
Rivals Vying for Attention
While Trump may be the frontrunner, his GOP rivals are not backing down. Campaign events in early voting states such as Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina are already underway, with candidates hoping to gain momentum and support before the primary season begins.
Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida are among the contenders vying for the Republican nomination. Each candidate brings their own unique appeal and message to voters, hoping to distinguish themselves from Trump and gain traction within the party.
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, is also in the race. With her experience in foreign policy and her appeal to both traditional Republicans and moderates, Haley presents a formidable challenge to Trump’s dominance.
Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and former Vice President Mike Pence, who served as Trump’s understudy in the White House, are also running. Both candidates are hoping to leverage their previous experience and showcase their leadership skills to secure the nomination.
Wealthy entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina round out the field of Republican contenders. Ramaswamy brings a fresh perspective and a business background, while Scott offers a strong conservative record and appeals to voters looking for a candidate with strong principles.
The Democratic Side
In contrast to the crowded Republican field, President Joe Biden does not face any top-tier primary rivals within his own party. The only notable candidates are new age author Marianne Williamson, who ran in 2020 but failed to gain significant support, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently announced his exploration of a potential presidential run.
While it remains to be seen if Kennedy will gain significant support, Biden’s position as the incumbent president gives him a significant advantage within the Democratic Party. However, as we saw in the 2016 Republican primary, anything can happen in the world of politics, and surprises cannot be ruled out.
The Road to 2024
The 2024 presidential election promises to be highly competitive and closely watched. With Donald Trump dominating the Republican field and Joe Biden seeking reelection, the stakes are high for both parties.
Republican candidates will need to present a compelling vision and connect with voters who may be drawn to Trump’s style but also open to alternative voices. Democrats, on the other hand, will need to rally behind their incumbent president and showcase their ability to effectively govern and address the challenges facing the nation.
As the campaign events in early voting states unfold, it will become clearer which candidates are able to gain traction and resonate with voters. Ultimately, it will be up to the American people to decide who will lead the country for the next four years.
