If Dump suddenly dropped dead, who would the repug's presidential candidate be? [View all] Talitha Apr 2024 OP

It'd probably go to the repug convention ? OnDoutside Apr 2024 #1

That's what I figured, but with no one else running, I wonder what the rules would be. Talitha Apr 2024 #3

Actually, all the candidates are still running... brooklynite Apr 2024 #12
