Several top GOP donors, panicked about their current choices, are holding back 2024 money with the long-shot dream of luring an alternative to former President Trump into the presidential race at the last minute.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp are getting secret overtures from establishment Republicans — and haven't ruled out running, top sources tell Axios.

Trump has an absolute lock on the nomination.

Because literally every democrat with a brain will vote for him in every open primary.

@InvertedParallax That's the same move that got him the presidency the first time.

I know, but let's be honest, it fucking DESTROYED the GOP with millenials, genz and literally anyone who can read.

I don't think it was a bad trade.

The GOP has irrevocably become a redneck trash party, and they can never escape from this trap.
