Senator from Missouri foresees Trump’s inevitable GOP nomination in 2024.

Former President Donald Trump is set to dominate the 2024 presidential election, according to Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). Speaking at the 2023 National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention, Hawley said he believes it is “inevitable” that Trump will be the Republican nominee.

Why Trump Will Win

Hawley cited the case of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who charged Trump with 34 felony-level counts of falsifying business records related to alleged hush money payments, as a reason for Trump’s increased support. “I think he’s just consolidated his support,” Hawley said.

Challenges Ahead

Hawley also criticized President Joe Biden, saying he has made the United States “dependent” on China and “intentionally tried to divide” Americans. Hawley’s concerns were echoed by Mandy Gunasekara, director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum, who said the Biden administration’s latest electric vehicle push will increase the United States’ dependence on China.

Candidate Pool

While Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his presidential campaign via Twitter Spaces alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday, Trump still dominates the field, according to an average of polls compiled by RealClearPolitics. Biden, who officially announced his 2024 reelection campaign in April, will have to convince voters he has the stamina for another four years in the White House amid poor approval ratings and voter concerns about his age.
