DENVER — Former president Donald Trump won the straw poll at the Western Conservative Summit on Saturday, one day after his federal indictment was unsealed.
Trump received 40.3% support in the straw poll, and Gov. Ron DeSantis received 35.8% support, talk-radio show host Larry Elder received 7.7%, and Sen. Tim Scott received 5.8%. Elder and former Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson were the only 2024 Presidential candidates in attendance at the summit.“We need Trump back in. We owe it to him,” said Peter Boddie, an attendee at the summit.
Some at the event found the prosecution to be politically motivated and the Department of Justice to be targeting Trump, even if they didn’t necessarily support him. DeSantis beat Trump in the approval straw poll, where attendees at the event could select from 21 current and potential candidates and could select however many people they approved of in the poll.
