GOP's anti-Trump donors still feeling fractured among rival candidates as 2024 approaches
As the 2024 primary season rapidly approaches, influential Republican donors have been gathering across the country, putting their heads together to determine how to move forward as front-runner Donald Trump continues to hold a huge polling lead over the rest of the candidates.

Rooney is an outspoken Trump critic looking for a challenger to successfully take on the former president.
