A revealing Fox News segment highlighted just how strong support is for former President Donald Trump as the 2024 election approaches.
Host Laura Ingraham asked her audience who their preferred candidate is for the upcoming presidential race.
The response showcased Trump’s powerful influence within the Republican base as nearly every attendee raised their hands.

Meanwhile, Gov. Ron DeSantis (Fla.) elicited a few hand raises.
“Two hands and a clap,” co-host Raymond Arroyo observed.
Nikki Haley didn’t appear to receive any support as not a single hand was seen raised in her favor.
The segment was particularly embarrassing for Fox News given their full-throated support for DeSantis in the 2024 election cycle.
A recent NBC poll shows Trump far ahead of the GOP competition with 58%, with DeSantis trailing in second at 18%.
