Former President Donald Trump remains the clear frontrunner to win the 2024 Republican Presidential primary after recovering from a moderate dip following his federal indictment last week, according to data from Smarkets.
- Smarkets shows Trump's implied probability of winning of a touch under 65%, almost identical to the 66.7% he enjoyed immediately before he was indicted by the Department of Justice.
- CBS: "...six in 10 Republican primary voters say he would "definitely" beat Mr. Biden in a 2024 general-election rematch. And comparing data collected before and after federal charges were unsealed, the new indictment has not put a dent into this number — at least not yet."
- Elaine Kamarack at the non-partisan Brookings Institution warns against reading too much into Trump's lead during the 'invisible primary' period of the campaign.
- According to Kamarack, the principle threat to Trump is failing to secure the nomination early or having the primary field thinned to a one-on-one contest: "For Trump to win, he has to win early, and the field of candidates has to be large and stay large after Super Tuesday 2024."
