While many presidential hopefuls continue to sit on the sidelines of a brewing 2024 race, the latest fundraising efforts of rumored Republican contenders reveal who may be gearing up for a run soon.
Former President Donald Trump is the only announced Republican presidential candidate thus far, though a long list of rumored candidates show signs of interest in the GOP nomination.
That includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Govs. Larry Hogan of Maryland and Asa Hutchison of Arkansas, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Govs. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire and Kristi Noem of South Dakota and former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.

The deflated numbers substantiate some claims that the Trump campaign is off to a slow start in 2024.
In December of last year, the Trump campaign revealed to Fox that MAGA Inc., the super PAC supporting Trump’s 2024 run, was sitting on $55 million in cash on hand — though most of the funds came by way of a massive transfer from Trump’s Save America political committee.

The Florida governor had roughly $90 million in cash on hand at the close of his campaign leading to further speculation over his presidential ambitions.
