GOP 2024 Presidential Primary Sees Early Dropouts, Speculation of Trump's Head-to-Head Contest, Lack of Endorsements

The Republican presidential primary for the 2024 election is seeing a significant number of candidates dropping out early, resulting in a smaller and faster-shrinking field compared to previous years. Notably, many big names among them have not endorsed Trump and do not plan to. This trend has led to speculation that Trump may face a head-to-head contest in some early primary states. The race has been characterized as an audition to become Trump's running mate, with a lack of straightforwardness from other GOP candidates. The primary is described as hollow and allergic to ideas, raising the likelihood of Trump being the GOP nominee, which would pose a tough challenge for Biden in the general election.
