How a Crowded GOP Field Helps Trump

MORE HIGH-PROFILE REPUBLIcans joining the 2024 presidential primary are a boon to former President Donald Trump's chances to win the GOP nomination.

Former New Jersey governor and one-time Trump ally Chris Christie announced his candidacy on June 6, blasting the former president as a "lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog." He was followed the next day by former Vice President Mike Pence, who focused his fire on "President Joe Biden and the radical left," and conservative North Dakota Fovernor Doug Burgum, a wealthy former tech executive, who emphasized his business skill. The three joined previously announced Republican candidates Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.

This is all good news for the former president, who previously benefited from a crowded field of candidates to win the GOP nomination and then the presidency in 2016. Some Republicans believe the GOP should shift away from Trump's slash-and-burn style of politics, which has cost the party in moderate, suburban areas. But multiple candidates dividing support among "Not Trump" GOP voters appear to make Trump's own path to renomination easier.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
