(NewsNation) — The 2024 primary season kicked off in January with the Iowa caucuses and will last through June.
The Republican candidates will need to collect support from the party’s delegates by performing well in the primaries and caucuses in order to become the GOP nominee.
Former President Donald Trump has maintained a strong lead over the Republican Party, but Republicans will be looking to former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who pulled ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the second-place ranking in the final stretch of the Iowa caucuses. DeSantis dropped out of the 2024 race shortly after the Iowa caucuses and endorsed Trump.
