The GOP presidential field continues to balloon.

The number of candidates for the 2024 Republican nomination jumped by three this week with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum throwing their hats into the race.

They join a crowded field that already includes former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, as well as the state’s senator, Tim Scott.

But most eyes remain on former president Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who many see as Trump’s main competitor.
