Club for Growth welcomes 2024 Republicans to donor retreat, snubs Trump on home turf
Candidates such as Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy are poised to headline the retreat, while likely 2024 contenders, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis , former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott , and Gov. Chris Sununu , are expected to be present at the event as well, Yahoo News reported.
Trump has feuded with the group, which advocates limited government principles. The two were occasionally at odds during the midterm elections, and Trump was vexed by the group's promotion of internal polling showing him lagging behind DeSantis prior to his November campaign launch."The Club For NO Growth, an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers, fought me incessantly and rather viciously during my presidential run in 2016.
DeSantis huddled with donors and conservative influencers last weekend not far from Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. DeSantis has consistently polled as Trump's chief GOP rival but is trailing behind him in the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate. DeSantis is reportedly weighing a possible summertime campaign launch.Although he will not attend the Club for Growth event, Trump is expected to attend the Conservative Political Action Coalition conference in Washington, D.C.
Some top traditional Republican donor groups, such as Americans for Prosperity Action, which has ties to the Koch brothers, have sought to distance themselves from Trump and are eyeing other alternatives.
