Former President Trump won the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) straw poll on Saturday as the preferred 2024 GOP presidential nominee and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake won as the vice presidential choice of CPAC attendees.
Over 2,000 votes were cast and Trump won with 62% while Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis earned 20%. DeSantis also came in second as the vice presidential pick with 14% compared to 20% for Lake.

However, I'm also glad to see her at CPAC and think she would be a great Vice-President for President Trump.
Good for President Trump
It’s Trump’s turn again.
As a side note, guess who was NOT at CPAC (besides DeSantis)?
“The GOP’s congressional leaders, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, are missing from the lineup at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) taking place just outside of Washington, D.C.
Other key Republican lawmakers, including Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, spoke on the main stage at the annual gathering of conservatives. “
PRESIDENT:
Trump 62%
DeSantis 20%.
VICE PRESIDENT:
Lake: 20%
DeSantis: 14%
If DeSantis had bothered to SHOW UP, he may well have been chosen as VP.
Oh well, I guess he answers to others.
Ha ha!
Why would DeSantis want to be VP? Let alone Trump’s VP.
Congrats to president Donald J Trump for CPAC win.
Greatest AMERICA FIRST president in my life spanning 8 decades.
Yes, DeSantis has different set of donors. He depends on his sugar daddys. He has no wealth of his own.
DeSantis is a good Florida governor, same as Jeb Bush was good and other republicans who preceded him.
he answers to his constituents...
why do you have a problem with desantis’s war on wokeness and his protecting our children from looney leftists grooming and indoctrination in our education system?...
I suspect that DeSanris is not convinced yet to run.
It is all the “OTHERS” that are convinced he will run.
desantis never announced he’s running for president...
ha ha...
Sorry, but what has Kari Lake ever accomplished that would qualify her to be VP, or President in case Trump dies or is disabled? Loosing a crooked election should gain her sympathy, but it doesn’t qualify her for anything.
She was a talking head on TV for 20+ years. She supported John Kerry in 2004. She left the Republican party in 2006 and became an Independent. She changed her registration to Democrat in 2008 and supported Obama.
Trump ran a huge empire of multiple businesses, and from the time he was young showed great drive and intelligence. He’s a natural leader. Lake hasn’t really done anything.
That would be suicide. I think Huckabee might be a possibility. Or Pompeo. I don’t know why you’d choose someone who lost her own state.
Entertaining at best. Lake has zero chance of VP at the moment. Will be a winning governor, lots of talent available.
You mean prior GOP governors like Charlie Crist?
Surely you jest!
He is young thats why. He has a lot of time.
Would you like it better if Kari were a lawyer like so many of our politicians are? Our leaders were supposed to come from different walks of life.
