Trump has been the leader of the Republican Party for six years, but he enters the race as a weakened candidate after losing several high-profile endorsements. Many political observers have blamed Trump and his insistence that Republicans continue to push false claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election as a reason Republicans fell short of expectations and appeared on course for a slim House majority despite predictions of a "red wave." After winning reelection in a landslide last week, Ron DeSantis is gaining steam as the favorite to win the GOP's nomination for president in the 2020 election. Some of Trump's former supporters, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, are considering running for the Republican nomination in the next presidential election.
