Summary

The first debate in the race to be the GOP’s presidential nominee for 2024 is a month away. What should we watch out for – and how will the party split? Former President Trump is dominating the opinion polls, but a crowded field of other candidates has emerged – including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice-President Mike Pence. Jacob Jarvis is joined by Politico’s senior campaigns and elections editor Steven Shepard, to discuss the latest clashes. “It doesn’t seem that Republican primary voters are willing to turn on Trump, even after everything.” – Steven Shepard “Donald Trump’s decision on whether or not to take part in these debates is crucial to how this race goes” – Steven Shepard Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis.
