Reason 1. Needs the Florida state legislature to change the law.

Reason 2. Once he announces he falls under federal election law which is a little more restrictive in terms of fundraising limits versus Florida law alone.




Main reason is he pushing through a whole huge legislative agenda through: anti-woke, tax reform, election reform, pro-policing etch etc.....he will come out and tout that along with everything else he has done as his Blue Print For America.....its what the book is about and his road shows are about......people keep talking about the Florida law but that is a non-issue. Ron has a super majority there and it won't be a problem.

I do agree if we are sitting here in June or July and Ron still hasn't declared and Trump is out there throwing haymakers he runs the risk of losing ground permanently

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has indicated privately that he intends to run for president, according to two people familiar with his comments.

A super PAC that seeks to draft DeSantis into the race launched Thursday and is likely to serve as an approved outside spending vehicle for his campaign, three people familiar with the planning said.

And DeSantis will visit the early nominating states of Iowa on Friday and Nevada on Saturday as he tours the country promoting his memoir.

The public and private movements underline how far along DeSantis and his allies are in their preparation for the 2024 campaign, even as the Florida governor has not said publicly that he will enter the race.

Allies do not expect him to announce a run until after the Florida state legislative session ends in May. But in recent conversations, DeSantis has described his presidential plans without any caveats that would suggest he’s still deciding, according to the two people familiar with his comments who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private remarks.

The governor will appear here in Davenport, Iowa, on Friday and will be in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The pro-DeSantis super PAC that announced its formation Thursday, called Never Back Down, is led by Ken Cuccinelli, who served as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services during the Trump administration, and Chris Jankowski, a veteran GOP operative and former official at the Republican State Leadership Committee. Approval of Cuccinelli’s group is not a forgone conclusion, but it is the likeliest vehicle for contributions from pro-DeSantis megadonors, three people familiar with the planning said.

Super PACs can receive unlimited contributions from individuals and corporations but are prohibited from coordinating their expenditures with campaigns. Still, candidates or campaigns will often signal their approval of a given super PAC so donors know where to direct their checks.
