Handicapping the GOP Race

BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Guessing the nominee of the party out of power is always a risky game. But it is particularly difficult in the case of the Republicans heading into 2024.

Of course, you have to start with former President Donald J. Trump. Clearly Mr. Trump already has a large and enthusiastic national following in his party ber of independents. To elect Mr. Trump again as in 2016, Republicans may have to draw another inside straight, with narrow wins in a few closely contested states. And not everyone likes that Mr. Trump will be 78 years old during the 2024 campaign season.

Writer, public health professional and activist Puja Shah will discuss her debut novel "For My Sister" at Adelphi University on Wednesday, March 1, at 7 p.m.
