2024 Republican presidential nominee: ‘Donald Trump or someone from Trump-wing’ | Sky News AustraliaThe Republican presidential nominee in 2024 will either be Donald Trump or 'someone from the Trump wing” of the GOP, according to novelist Roger L. Simon.\n\nFormer President Donald Trump was acquitted in the impeachment trial on Saturday (local time) as the Senate could not come up with the required two-thirds majority to convict him.\n\nSeven Republicans broke ranks to vote to convict the president taking the vote to 57-43, but the Democrats needed 17 GOP Senators to vote with them to achieve what would be a landmark victory.\n\nThe acquittal means Donald Trump will be able to run for president again in 2024 if he chooses to contest the Republican Party’s nomination.\n\nMr Simon said the Republicans who voted against the former president and voted guilty in this “farcical impeachment” were mostly people who “don’t expect to run for office again”.\n\n“It will be Trump or someone from the Trump wing of the Republican Party,” he said.\n\nHe pointed to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a potential Trumpian successor and the “guy everybody’s been talking about”.\n\n“He’s very smart and I think he’s better at being Trump maybe in some ways than Trump.”\n
