Trump Maintains 2024 Betting Lead Despite DeSantis, Scott Campaign Announcements

Former President Donald Trump has maintained his status as the betting frontrunner to win the Republican Party’s presidential ticket for next year’s election despite recent entries from his primary competitors.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and US Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) announced their 2024 presidential campaigns last week. DeSantis is seen as Trump’s biggest threat in preventing the former casino tycoon from securing the GOP’s nomination for a third consecutive presidential election cycle.

DeSantis’ 2024 kickoff certainly didn’t go as planned. DeSantis took to Twitter Spaces with Twitter owner Elon Musk on May 24 to announce his presidential candidacy, but technical issues caused a 20-minute delay that resulted in many users closing the space.
