In One Chart: Republicans pick favorite candidates for 2024 election: more Trumps

Rick Wilson won’t be surprised by this chart.

The Republican strategist and fierce Trump critic — he wrote “Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever” — told the L.A. Times last month that the Trump name could remain in the White House well beyond even a second term for Donald Trump.

“I honestly think Don Jr. or Ivanka will be the nominee in 2024,” Wilson said in the interview. “Because the party doesn’t care about any of the issues that used to drive the party. Now they care about Trump.”

Clearly, he’s not the only one thinking that way.

Axios explained that early polls like this are typically a measure of name ID, but they are also a “vivid illustration of just how strong Trump’s brand” among today’s self-identified Republican voters.

If one of Trump’s kids were to win the presidency in 2024, it would be the fourth time a direct descendant of a president became president.
