We’re still more than a year away from when the first votes will be cast in the 2024 presidential primary, but that’s not stopping the punditocracy from launching into the speculation game. One of the early contestants in this game is Matt Lewis, a never-Trumper writing at the Daily Beast. This week, Matt is peering into the tea leaves and has determined that two of the early potential contestants who may have a chance at derailing Donald Trump’s chances for a second term are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Neither of these are shocking choices, and both have previously expressed an interest in running for the top job.

But Matt questions whether either of them will have the spine to launch sustained attacks against the former president. If they do, however, he believes that DeSantis may have an ace up his sleeve, and it comes in the form of Trump’s diehard support for the COVID vaccines developed through his Operation Warp Speed in 2020.-
