Fox News Power Rankings: The frontrunner and contenders in the 2024 GOP primary fieldThis is the first of a three-part series breaking down the Fox News Power Rankings ahead of the first 2024 GOP presidential debate.
Every candidate other than Donald Trump wants voters to know "it’s early" in the 2024 Republican primary. It is in their interest to say so. The former president is the clear favorite in the race and has a resilient base of support.
To their point, it is still early in the race. America will watch the candidates duke it out for the first time next week at the opening Republican debate, and the majority of voters are still six or more months away from casting a ballot.
For the candidates to make those ballots, they need to survive contests in the early states. Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, where the field is making the biggest investments so far, make or break campaigns.
By Super Tuesday, which traditionally follows these states plus Nevada, more than 80% of the Democratic field had dropped out in 2020. Over 70% of the GOP field called it quits by Super Tuesday in 2016. ..................
