On the Republican side, there are many prospective candidates who are anticipated to enter the 2024 race. So far, former President Trump is the only candidate to toss his hat in the ring. However, several other Republicans will likely enter as well.

At the top of the list is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor has topped Trump in some polls. DeSantis also keeps taking hits from Trump who clearly views him as a threat in the 2024 presidential election.

Later this month, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley remains projected to announce her candidacy in the upcoming White House race. Other likely GOP candidates are former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and previous Vice President Mike Pence.

Amid speculations of potential presidential GOP candidates, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu may also be getting into the 2024 election.

A closer look at the possibility of a Sununu 2024 presidential run

Fueling rumors that he may run for president, the New Hampshire governor started the "Live Free and Die" PAC. In many cases, presidential candidates start these PACs ahead of their campaigns to help with fundraising and other related matters.

Sununu, during a recent sitdown with Face the Nation, was questioned about the possibility of running for president. The Republican governor didn't rule it out. In fact, he told Face the Nation that many opportunities for change exist.

Some of the changes Sununu touted as positives for the country are reduced taxes, individual responsibility, and prioritizing the interests of voters.

In previous public remarks, the New Hampshire governor has offered criticism of both Trump and DeSantis. The former will definitely be an opponent if Sununu enters the 2024 race.

As for the Florida governor, he too is likely to be a competitor in the presidential election ahead.

More from Sununu

The New Hampshire governor has gone on record stating that it's not enough for Republicans to simply be against Biden or the Democrats. According to Sununu, it is his view that Republicans have to be "for something" and not trapped in an echo chamber.

If Sununu does decide to run for president, his announcement will presumably arrive later this year. The same also applies to other Republicans who are likely set to compete for the GOP nomination.
