At the annual Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) much anticipated straw poll for the Republican nominee in 2024, former President Donald Trump won handly with 59% of the 2,500 votes cast. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came in a distant second with 28% of the vote, the only candidate other than Trump to reach double digits.

At the CPAC conference, Trump strongly hinted that he would run again in 2024.
