2024 GOP Campaign Speeches: Trump's Witch Hunt Claims Dominate as DeSantis Struggles

GOP presidential hopefuls are using various strategies to distinguish themselves in a crowded field. Former President Donald Trump focuses on attacking opponents and painting a dark picture of the country under President Biden. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis highlights his policy record and promotes conservative backlash against discussions of gender identity and sexual orientation. Former Vice President Mike Pence confronts Trump's attacks while touting the achievements of the "Trump-Pence administration." Nikki Haley emphasizes positive terms and a more aspirational message. Senator Tim Scott leans into his biography and Christian faith. Other candidates like Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, and Francis Suarez also employ different messaging strategies to stand out.
