As Trump launches 2024 bid, potential leading nomination rivals gather at a major GOP cattle call

Former President Trump tossed his hat into the 2024 ring this week, but that likely will not clear the field in the battle for the Republican nomination.

This weekend, some of Trump's best-known potential GOP rivals will gather in Las Vegas for what is being viewed as the first major Republican cattle call in the burgeoning race for the White House.

As Fox News first reported last month, some of the biggest names in the GOP who are considered likely or possible White House contenders will be speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s (RJC) annual leadership meeting.

The confab kicked off Thursday night at the Venetian Hotel Resort and Casino with speeches from term-limited Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and former New Jersey governor and 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie.
