Donald Trump remains the frontrunner in the race to become the GOP presidential nominee in 2024, despite indictments in three separate investigations.

The GOP presidential field continues to balloon.

The number of candidates for the 2024 Republican nomination jumped by three this week with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum throwing their hats into the race.

They join a crowded field that already includes former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, as well as the state’s senator, Tim Scott.

But most eyes remain on former president Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who many see as Trump’s main competitor.

Jonathan Weisman is a political reporter at The New York Times. He has been traveling the country listening to stump speeches and talking to GOP voters. He joins Diane to explain what he has learned, and what the current field says about today’s Republican party.
