With DONALD TRUMP proving that traditional resumés aren’t a requirement for the GOP, the DNC says they are digging into a wide range of people, from current and former elected officials like Florida Gov. RON DeSANTIS and former U.N. Ambassador NIKKI HALEY to unconventional candidates like Fox News’ TUCKER CARLSON and Minnesota pillow magnate MIKE LINDELL. DNC officials believe social media has made the barrier to entry lower for presidential candidates and that there will be a crowded field again if Trump doesn’t run.
