quote:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is indicating to GOP donors that he has no plans to challenge former President Donald Trump in 2024, Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman reported on Wednesday.


quote:

Sources told me DeSantis recently indicated to donors that he would not challenge Trump for the Republican nomination. “He’s led them to believe he will not run if Trump does,” a Republican briefed on the donor conversations told me. Another source told me DeSantis’s calculus is that, at age 44, he can easily wait until the next presidential cycle, so why risk a brutal primary fight against a pugilist like Trump? “He can walk into the presidency in 2028 without pissing off Trump or Florida,” the source said.

Damn. He may be signaling the death of his national profile with this decision.

He would not do that unless he was very doubtful about his chances.

Also key politician word here

When you are asking for money for a gubernatorial campaign it would seem that you would want to indicate that you are going to finish out the term

Trump can't win in 2024 unless the Dems put up another retard.

DeSantis would have to go scorched earth to take on Trump and even then he still might not beat him.

DeSantis isn’t willing to do that. Simple as that.

And Trump may not run in 24. So this could be moot.

If that’s the case he should be Trumps VP if Trump runs.

Those two would win* bigly.




*Subject to election fraud by the democrats.

It makes 0 sense for DeSantis to run in 2024.

He is going to cruise to reelection in Florida, and in the next 2 years, continue to increase his national profile, name recognition, and bona fides with conservatives/MAGA folks.

His term ends at the midterms in 2026, which will be right when everyone is starting to declare intentions for 2028, and it gives him two years to both support President Trump in the background, while also running for the presidency.

He gets the additional minor political benefit of saying, "See, I'm not politically motivated, I served out my term as governor in Florida and I'm doing this to continue President Trump's MAGA legacy."

As meaningful as a coach telling his team he has no interest in coaching anywhere else.

Until after the season is over.


Then watch what happens.

This has always been the plan. Trump will massacre anyone who even thinks of getting in. Cruz, Pence, Tim Scott too - they'll all get out of the way. Just ask "Lyin' Ted" or "Little Marco."
