Don Jr. and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis top a poll — provided first to Axios — gauging the popularity of seven key GOP figures.
Between the lines: Don Jr. is the Trump child with the strongest connection to the base, and the most political promise should he ever decide to run. And the results reaffirm Ron DeSantis' rise as an early 2024 front-runner should Trump decide not to run.

Tony Fabrizio of Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, who was pollster on both of Donald Trump's presidential campaigns, concludes:
We found Mitch McConnell's image has significantly improved since February, while Kevin McCarthy's has remained consistent but positive. Liz Cheney is incredibly unpopular, while Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have positive images but are largely undefined and driven by the far right of the party. Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, Jr. are well-known and very well-liked by most Republicans, doing best among President Trump's biggest supporters.

Don Jr.s biggest claims to fame are "trophy" hunting of big game animals and looking coked up on national television. If he becomes a televangelist before '24 he'll have the GOP nomination locked up !
Don't give him any ideas
If Don Jr is elected president his dad will be off the hook as the dumbest US president of all time.
Be nice, addition is an illness ( and probably an inherited one ).
Miss 1 letter and the entire meaning changes..... ADDICTION.....sheeesh.
I wonder when Don Sr. will start the attack on Don Jr.. Maybe Rudy can have another laptop fabricated and abandoned somewhere without password protection.
Lol .... how about we wait for Biden to complete at least one year before we start talking about 2024 POTUS election.
Hilarious!
Well the Turd Reich keeps talking about the stolen 2020 election so . . . . . . . .
De Santis For President 2024 Nikki Haley For VP
Keep dreaming. . .
When Trump gets through shredding DeSantis there wont be enough left of him to spoon into a thimble.
What is this list? It's so random. Most popular people who get themselves in the tabloids every day? I hope it's not for some elected office.
Donald Trump Jr is the best the gop has to vote for!
It is getting awfully difficult to take the gop seriously!
