The 2024 Republican race is no longer a slam dunk for Donald Trump
CNN
For the better part of the last year, when people asked me whether I thought Donald Trump would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024, the answer has been the same: If he runs, he will be.
A new national poll from The New York Times and Siena College released Tuesday -- coupled with a few other recent developments -- have made me reconsider that black-and-white answer.
In the poll, Trump led a hypothetical 2024 GOP field with 49%, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 25%. No other potential candidate -- including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Vice President Mike Pence and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley -- received double-digit support.

Top Trump Cabinet secretaries and national security officials are holding meetings this week to discuss the administration’s next steps on Ukraine – including the prospect of suspending military aid – following the spectacular collapse of Friday’s Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky.
