IN AMERICA, we take a look at the latest developments in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
Peter Thiel, a prominent GOP megadonor who previously supported former President Donald Trump, has now thrown his support behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
In a recent podcast interview, Thiel expressed his belief that DeSantis would make a “terrific president” if he were to become the Republican nominee in 2024.
Thiel’s move away from Trump and towards DeSantis is seen as part of a larger trend among the billionaire donor class distancing themselves from the former president.
However, there is still some concern among Republicans about DeSantis’ electability in a general election, as he currently trails behind Trump in most polls.
Despite this, DeSantis has been actively courting primary voters with his strong stances on social issues, which has sparked controversy among some in the party.
As we approach the 18-month mark until the election, all eyes will be on whether DeSantis will officially announce his candidacy and how his campaign will take shape.
