Who Else Might Be the Republican Presidential Nominee?

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

The first debate among Republican Presidential hopefuls will take place on Wednesday evening (7:00 MST) in Milwaukee, the city that will also host the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Former President Donald Trump remains the overwhelming frontrunner to capture the GOP nomination for a third consecutive time, but the Big Orange Guy says he won’t be participating in any debates. Trump has already taped an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that is supposed to be aired at the same time as Wednesday’s debate, though it’s not clear where you could actually see this interview.

Anyway, there are eight other Republican contenders who will debate in Milwaukee: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott; former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley; entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy; former Vice President Mike Pence; former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum; and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.

That means it’s time for another reader poll! Vote below on who you THINK could be the 2024 Republican Presidential nominee should Trump get hit by a bus or something.

As always with our reader polls, we’re not interested in who you might support or prefer; instead, we want your best estimation of who might be next up to the plate. Our readers have traditionally been very accurate at predicting political race outcomes.

Note that we did not include “Someone Else” in this poll because we’re more interested in who you think has the best shot among the eight candidates who qualified for Wednesday’s debate.
