The whirlpool is already overcrowded and yet more bathers climb in – there are now ten. Donald Trump, who came first, is surrounded. Of course, the picture that a CNN presenter used this week is crooked, you can’t really imagine it, but you can’t get it out of your head.

At least the hot water in the “hot tub” is fine, because a heated, even ugly battle is brewing within the Republican Party in the presidential election campaign.

Mike Pence lacks credibility

The fact that Mike Pence threw himself into it this Wednesday, announcing his candidacy “in front of his family and in front of God” in a video, caused ridicule in all camps of his party – for some he was a willing follower of Donald Trump, for others the traitor, who didn’t want to help his boss stay in office.

After all, he found clear words in front of his followers in Iowa:

I believe that anyone who puts themselves above the Constitution should never be President of the United States. And anyone who asks others to put them above the Constitution must never again be President of the United States.

Mike Pence

Pence also reiterated Abraham Lincoln’s call for reconciliation and Ronald Reagan’s words about America as a “shining city on the hill,” but he lacks credibility given his years as an accomplice to the greatest divide the country has ever known.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence wants to become President in 2024 and has submitted the necessary documents. Pence served as Donald Trump’s deputy from 2017 to 2021.

Abandonment of extremism possible

Other competitors, such as former governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson, acting governor of North Dakota Doug Burgum or Republican Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina, would have this credibility. Scott would be his party’s first black presidential candidate.

Selecting any of the above would be a Republican departure from extremism. The former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, and the former governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, also claim this for themselves, but they were also in Trump’s orbit when it seemed useful to them.

Ron DeSantis with no seduction ability

While Haley only cautiously criticizes the voted-out president, Christie launches the general attack, even comparing Trump to the villain Voldemort from the Harry Potter novels. Preventing his return seems more important to him than winning the party’s nomination himself.

For the sake of completeness, the right-wing radio talk show host Larry Elder and the rich businessman Vivek Ramaswamy should also be mentioned, both of whom probably have no chance, although they present themselves as fighters against alleged “wokeness” in the country – just like Ron DeSantis.

According to the polls, the governor of Florida is the only one who could pose a threat to Trump. While he doesn’t lack a plan to restore conservative values ​​to modern America, he lacks charisma and energy. He may have the unshakable confidence of a Trump, but not his ability to seduce the people.

The governor of Florida wants to become US president in November 2024. In the internal party primaries of the Republicans he has to compete against his former sponsor Trump.

Good chances for Joe Biden

It’s a diverse field of candidates where voters could choose between populist extremism and conservative sanity, but Republicans have a big problem: If Trump prevails in the end, he will be missing all those voters who loved the narcissistic drama king from Mar-a- fed up with Lago.

If someone else enters the race, perhaps above all Ron DeSantis, the incorrigible, even fanatical Trumpists will probably not follow him or her. In this respect, Joe Biden has a good chance of recapturing the White House, provided the American economy does not collapse dramatically before the election.

First Republican presidential debate in August

There are many doubts about the incumbent president in the democratic electorate, mainly because of his age and his apparently increasing frailty. But despite everything, he is still mentally fit. Even radical Republicans are furious that the old man ripped off their party on the debt ceiling deal.

So Biden can sit back and watch the others tear each other apart as he chooses his opponent for 2024. The first major showdown comes in August at the Republicans’ first presidential debate — in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where exactly a year later they field the official winner against Joe Biden at the convention.

Due to the number of candidates, the television discussion will probably be spread over two evenings, at least, because other aspirants still want to get into the crush in the Republican Party’s whirlpool.
