Former President Donald Trump wins CPAC straw poll, with Florida GovRonDeSantis gaining ground
DALLAS — Shortly before former President Donald Trump addressed an audience of some of his biggest fans, he also led a straw poll of the conference for the Republican nominee for president in 2024. Trump is widely expected to seek a second term in the White House, but he has not declared his candidacy.
The poll singled out Rep. Liz Cheney , a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, highlighting that she clocked in at 0% of the attendees’ support. Attendees were also asked who they would like to see Trump select as a running mate if he is nominated. Sixty-five percent said DeSantis, followed by Gov. Kristi Noem at 9% and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at 8%. Four percent of attendees said they would like to see former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Hawaii Democrat who has previously addressed the conference, as Trump’s running mate. Just 1% selected Mike Pence, who was Trump’s vice president.
Conferencegoers told the Washington Examiner in interviews that they would support either Trump or DeSantis, with some suggesting they would like to see DeSantis as Trump’s running mate.
