Trump for President of the United States.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump is dominating the 2024 Republican primary field. A new Fox News poll released over the weekend also showed that if the election were held today, Trump would beat President Biden by four points in a head-to-head match-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a source close to Barr told Fox News Digital that should a Senate seat become open for 2026, the congressman could be \u2018a serious contender.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Barr is a prolific fundraiser and a skilled legislator who would be a formidable ally for the America First agenda in the Senate,\u2019 the source told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>That source said Barr\u2019s early endorsement of Trump \u2018could preview a closer working relationship\u2019 between Barr and Trump in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: Rep.
