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.

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

So now we believe vanity fair and anonymous sources?


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

Unless something magical happens, he would need Trump to run and lose in 2024.

If Trump wins in 2024 it's almost a guarantee a DEM wins in 2028. Would RDS risk trying to unseat an incumbent in 2032? If not, then we're talking 2036. That's 14 years away and he's term-limited in Florida as governor.

He can now say that now that he as $200 million in the bank from big donors like Ken Griffin who probably thought there was a good chance DeSantis would run in 2024. (Remember the state of Florida has no campaign contribution limits...federal election do. He will carry those donations under state law to run for president in 2028 via superpacs.)

Precedence seems mostly meaningless at this juncture.

I think he would make an excellent president.

But maybe he sees the bigger picture about what’s best for the country. Honestly this country might need four years of scorched earth Trump followed by someone like Desantis to recover. No sense in causing division when we need unity now more than ever.

Giving Trump a shot to win in 2024 is "TDS"?

Also, what does my potential TDS have to do with 2028? Trump can't run.
