Never-Trumpers 2024

See also: Opposition to Donald Trump and Never Trump movement

Never-Trumpers 2024 are mostly globalists while pretending to be right-of-center, who reportedly oppose the nomination of Donald Trump for president in 2024. This list of self-centered groups and individuals, few of whom have had any political influence of any significance, reportedly includes the following:

• Charles Koch
• Americans for Prosperity
• Koch network
• Club for Growth - derided by Trump as “The Club For NO Growth, an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers"
• Nikki Haley
• Kenneth C. Griffin
• Stephen A. Schwarzman
• defeated Rep. Liz Cheney - humiliated by a landslide defeat in her own Wyoming primary

There was $16.7 billion spent on the 2022 midterm election campaigns, but the Koch network reportedly spent only $80 million nationwide, which is less than one-half of one percent of the total.

Speakers at anti-Trump Club for Growth 2023

The following spoke at the Never-Trump, globalist Club for Growth convention at the posh The Breakers hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida, the first week of March 2023, rather than at the pro-Trump CPAC:

• former VP Mike Pence
• Gov. Ron DeSantis
• Sen. Tim Scott
• Gov. Chris Sununu
• Gov. Kristi Noem
• former Gov. Nikki Haley, who also spoke at CPAC but was heckled there

Club for Growth donated $2M to DeSantis the last cycle. Our column can criticize how they (and other dark money groups like them) are not really that significant as that was merely 2% of DeSantis's fundraising, and nothing compared with the $16B raised and spent overall nationwide in the last elections.

Principles First Summit

Held in early March 2023 as a "counterweight" to Trump's triumphant appearance at CPAC, the Principles First Summit was a pathetic gathering of Republican opponents to Donald Trump:

“

It’s been roughly six years since the dawn of the Never Trump movement. And, over that time period, it has not had much success — at least when it comes to reforming the party to which its members once belonged.
