Rivals for the Republican nomination in 2024 have been courting Donald Trump's big donors during an annual conference in Las Vegas.
The Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting is taking place a few days after Trump announced his campaign.
Critics of the former president, which include former Cabinet members, have been making speeches and gathering with major Republican donors on the Las Vegas Strip to raise money.
There is a who's-who of potential Trump opponents. Private donor meetings are taking place behind closed doors, as well as in-person speeches by Florida Gov.
Chris Sununu, former New Jersey Gov. and Rick Scott are also listed as speakers.
Trump will not be in attendance. He's going to make a video address on Saturday.
Hogan told the AP that there may be blood in the water and the sharks are circling.
According to the AP, potential rivals have painted Trump as a loser. According to the news agency, Mike Pompeo, Trump's former secretary of state, said that they would get tired of winning. I'm sick of losing.
The Associated Press reported that Christie highlighted Trump's political failures while dining with wealthy donors.
He is now a loser in my opinion. He's an electoral loser according to Christie. I don't think there's a Democrat he can beat because he's toxic to suburban voters and he's earned it.
After defeating his opponent in last week's gubernatorial election, Sununu told the AP that his party wouldn't rally behind Trump. Sununu said Republicans were just moving on.
According to the news agency, the former president was jabbed at in the keynote address. He said that Republicans and elected leaders must do more than complain to win the future.
The big donors in attendance don't seem enthusiastic about supporting Trump.
The news agency reported that the wife of a billionaire is neutral in the primaries. Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and heir to the Estee Lauder fortune, doesn't have plans to support Donald Trump in the future, according to an AP report.
Stephen A. Schwarzman, CEO of The Blackstone Group private equity firm, said in an interview that he is looking towards a new generation of leaders.
According to AP, CEO Phillip Friedman, who has described himself as a Trump supporter, is open to considering other candidates. Friedman said that there were other people who had policies but didn't have baggage.
