DeSantis for President?

In Florida, incumbent Governor Ron DeSantis, a rising Republican star, is campaigning for reelection on an anti-woke “culture war” platform that has won him support from hard-line conservatives. Democrats accuse DeSantis of disregarding the needs of his constituents by utilizing the midterm elections as a dress rehearsal for his presidential candidacy in 2024.

Given the large number of unaffiliated voters, DeSantis’ tactic is dangerous. But, given Trump’s current weakness, could victory push him closer to the White House? DeSantis is currently second favorite at +425 / 5.25 to become the next POTUS.

Trump – a safe bet?

Since losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump has been the safe bet for the Republican presidential nominee. Are the varied results with endorsements in the midterm primaries, however, an indication that Trump’s previously impregnable grip on the Republican Party is slipping?

Donald Trump is rumored to be exploring a presidential run on July 4th, according to reports. If this is accurate, it may prevent Ron DeSantis and a growing field of potential Republican presidential contenders from running ahead of the former president. And, as the January 6 committee nears a ruling, a presidential bid may divert focus away from Trump’s existing legal problems.

“What makes you think he wouldn’t run?” “He’s in so much danger, legally, criminally, and civilly,” Mary Trump, his niece, continued.

Political pundits are keeping a close eye on Ron DeSantis’ refusal to confirm or deny a presidential run. However, there is little doubt that the Florida Governor’s appeal extends beyond the state’s borders, as seen by his PAC’s $36.7 million in fundraising, $17 million of which came from out-of-state donors.

“To many Republicans, DeSantis is Florida’s incarnation of Donald Trump, his successor, his alter ego, his clone,” said Darryl Paulson of the University of South Florida, a specialist in Florida and Southern politics and political elections.

Given the percentage of unaffiliated voters, DeSantis’ tactic is hazardous, but given Trump’s current weakness, it might bring him to Washington.

Political bettors will be watching to see if DeSantis’ hard-line approach can get him closer to a presidential run in this midterm year.
