Trump’s future on the line as big time donors gather in Las Vegas to ‘window-shop’ alternative candidates
.
According to a report from CNN, Donald Trump will make a video appearance and address the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas on Saturday to make his pitch to wealthy donors who are casting about for alternatives to him for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
The report notes that many of the former president’s rivals will actually be in attendance which could rob him of his chance to get assurances that donations will be forthcoming.
According to the report, “Trump still retains a ‘following’ within the party, Mel Sembler, a Florida real-estate developer and GOP donor who sits on the coalition’s board, told CNN this week. But, he said, ‘I think people are getting tired of his controversies all the time.'”
Sembler, who has not made a commitment for 2024, added, “What concerns me is if he wins the primary and loses the general.”
As the report notes, there are rising concerns that the former president is not a viable candidate and those worries have grown since the midterm elections didn’t deliver the GOP majorities that donors and the Republican Party leadership counted on — with Trump being fingered as the likely culprit for the election day flop.
