Former President Donald Trump continued to lead the field of Republican presidential candidates ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Here’s a look at the latest.
What Happened: Over the last month, Trump has dominated political headlines with an ongoing civil fraud lawsuit against The Trump Organization and his decision to skip the third Republican primary debate.
