According to Breitbart, in the recent Morning Consult survey, it was revealed that in the Republican primary race, former President Donald Trump holds a substantial lead of 34 points over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The survey indicated that a majority of 56 percent expressed their support for Trump, while only 22 percent showed support for DeSantis. None of the other individuals listed managed to garner more than five percent of support in the survey.
