  • Former President Donald Trump increasingly looks unbeatable in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, but some bigwig GOP donors are still trying to find someone to rescue them from the will of their own party’s voters.
  • The Washington Post’s Robert Costa, who on Twitter describes these GOP donors as “alarmed” by Trump’s resilience in the wake of four criminal indictments, reports that there’s a serious effort to draft Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin into the 2024 presidential race.
  • “Some of the biggest Republican donors in the country will converge next month at the historic Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach for a two-day meeting to rally behind Gov. Glenn Youngkin,” writes Costa. “Unofficially, several donors tell me, it will be an opportunity for them to try to push, if not shove, Youngkin into the Republican presidential race.”
