From President Donald J. Trump:

Senate Republicans say former President Trump is consolidating his support in the Republican Party and now looks more likely to become the party’s nominee in 2024 despite his legal problems.

Trump has doubled his polling lead over his closest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), since Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) indicted him on March 30.

During that time, the former president has picked several prominent endorsements in Congress, including the support of National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines (R-Mont.).

Republican senators and GOP strategists say Daines’s endorsement is a sign that Trump is viewed as the favorite to win the party’s presidential nomination in 2024.
