Twenty-nine per cent of poll responders want president’s son to be nominee in future election, while 16% support first daughter
Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump are among Republican voters’ top picks for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, consistent with a replacement poll.
Forty per cent of respondents to the survey by news site Axios and Survey Monkey wanted the vice-president, Mike Pence, to be the Republican nominee in 2024, whether to succeed Donald Trump within the Oval Office or to require on a Democratic incumbent if this year’s race is lost.

Twenty-six per cent wanted Nikki Haley, formerly governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the United Nations under Trump.
But 29% plumped for Donald Trump Jr, a daily surrogate for his father despite nominally being separated from the political side of the family by joint control, together with his brother Eric, of the Trump Organization.
Ivanka Trump, together with her husband, Jared Kushner, a senior adviser within the White House, was supported by 16%.
Donald Trump Jr recently published a political book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and needs to Silence Us. it had been a replacement York Times bestseller, if surrounded by questions on Republican efforts to assist it, and therefore the tour to market it attracted sizable crowds, if not uniformly adoring.
In his blockbuster White House exposé Fire and Fury, for instance , the journalist Michael Wolff said she and Kushner had made a deal: “The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, wouldn't be Hillary Clinton: it might be Ivanka Trump.”
Often portrayed as a liberal and restraining influence on her father, Ivanka Trump has claimed success over paid family leave for federal workers and federal sentencing reform.
She has also represented her father on the planet stage, to widespread criticism and occasional apparent mockery from actual international leaders.
Many observers now think the Trump takeover of the party of Lincoln makes a family succession more likely than not.
Speaking to the l. a. Times last month, the Republican strategist and Trump critic Rick Wilson said: “I honestly think Don Jr or Ivanka are going to be the nominee in 2024 … because the party doesn’t care about any of the problems that wont to drive the party. Now they care about Trump.
“I don’t think the party has any shot at recovering from Trump,” Wilson added. “I think someday there'll again be a centre-right economic and individual liberty Conservative Party again. But I don’t think it’ll have a Republican brand.”
The Axios/Survey Monkey poll was conducted immediately before Donald Trump was impeached.
In that sense the president remains in constitutional limbo, neither convicted and removed nor cleared. The Democratic-controlled home is withholding the articles of impeachment it approved last month, seeking concessions from Republicans who control the Senate over the principles of the president’s trial.
