President Trump Considered as Frontrunner for 2024 Election, But Some Contenders Remain
President Donald Trump isn't done with criticizing the results of this year's presidential race but he's already seen as a frontrunner for the 2024 election as other contenders from the GOP remain.
This was reported as the Republican Nation Committee's annual winter meeting approaches, where Trump will be of attendance.
The RNC will be held on Amelia Island, Florida, from Wednesday to Friday.
The main agenda for the meeting is the reelection of Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and picking officials for the party, but it will also be a good time for contenders against Trump for the 2024 election.
Contenders can start building bonds with the committee, activists, fundraisers and other figures in the RNC meeting, said a report from Fox News.

"It's been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I'll see you in four years," he said at a White House holiday party.
There were also reports that Trump also said something along the same lines behind closed doors with his advisers.
The Hill did note that Trump would be 78 by the time of the next election, and could be facing some struggles financial struggles.
There was also speculation that his eldest daughter Ivanka Trump was going to enter politics.
Nothing is for sure yet but reports said he might announce his bid before or after President-elect Joe Biden gets inaugurated.
There will also be other people aspiring to be president on the RNC gathering's guest list.
Contenders With Presidential Ambitions Also Expected in RNC Gathering
One of the most prominent contenders against Trump in 2024 would be Vice President Mike Pence, who had been harboring presidential ambitions.
The Hill said in its report that while Pence serve alongside Trump well over the past four years, the president grew irritated at him for providing insufficient support to his attempts to overturn the election for this year.
The president even retweeted a claim that Pence would refuse to accept electoral votes from crucial states, complicating his outlook for 2024.

However, he could be big-name candidate because of his current position as vice president.
Others on the list of presidential aspirants were former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, Sens. Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tim Scott, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Govs. Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem.
Longtime national party committee member Henry Barbour told Fox News that the gathering would be an "important place for potential '24 candidates to come and talk about their vision for the country."
But given the many options and the first Congressional override under his presidency, it is worth noting that Trump continues to be influential among GOP lawmakers and voters.
He made it clear that he wants to be very involved in the inner workings of the Republican Party after the January inauguration.
