Some top Republican lawmakers who have signaled opposition to former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid have expressed worry that the former commander-in-chief will prevail with a crowded GOP primary field.

This week, former Vice President Mike Pence filed paperwork for a 2024 presidential bid, coming on the heels of announcements made by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.). Other candidates include former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
