Conservatives gathered at Orlando, Florida for this year s Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) participated in a straw poll to take the temperature on who CPAC attendees currently favor to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. The result wasn t surprising.
Former President Donald Trump won the poll with some 55 percent, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 21 percent and Gov. Kirsti Noem (R-SD) at four percent.
The former president is scheduled to speak at CPAC on Sunday in Trump s first public speech since leaving office. Both Govs. DeSantis and Noem broke from other governors by resisting pressure to keep their states locked down during the coronavirus pandemic.
