Trump should stop personal attacks and run on what he will do and his past successes.
Not to nitpick, because you’re VERY correct that DeSantis doesn’t need to resign now, but he does need to resign from the governorship to be ELIGIBLE for election to the White House. I’ve been interpreting that as he should resign in order to accept the nomination. Arguably, he could resign before Election Day, but the political context of the Statute seems to argue that he must resign to accept the nominee. Ignoring that context, I suppose you COULD argue that since the Electoral College elects him, he doesn’t have to resign until AFTER election day.
Trump trashed O'Dea before O'Dea went on Big Media and trashed Trump.
Do you have a link to that earlier trashing?
You left off the first step. 1) ODea went on CNN and attacked Trump and vowed to stop Trump and MAGA. 2) Trump responded. 3) Days later, DeSantis endorses Odea.
What if you knew Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell etc helped steal the Presidency from you and are now fully backing with $200 million so far and the Fox News brand, DeSantis against you? President Trump deserves a second chance. Ronnie can wait his turn. If he if he has one after these tricks.
>> Perhaps you read the law differently but it does not have to be a public office. Once he declares or officially files for the Primary, he has to resign if the law is not changed by that time. <<
No, it PRECISELY says it must be a public office.
(2) No person may qualify as a candidate FOR MORE THAN ONE PUBLIC OFFICE, whether federal, state, district, county, or municipal, if the terms or any part thereof run concurrently with each other.
(3)(a) No officer may qualify as a candidate for another state, district, county, or municipal PUBLIC OFFICE if the terms or any part thereof run concurrently with each other without resigning from the office he or she presently holds.
There is no mention anywhere of a nomination.

Trump is just not smart enough to figure that out, which is why Pelosi was able to easily out-smart him in so many ways.
He walked right into her hands on Jan. 6.
DeSantis will also out-smart him.
Trump trashed O’Dea before O’Dea went on Big Media and trashed Trump??

I used to say that stupid reality show Survivor was a joke.
Until I realized the shows premis is similar to how it works in the real world.
The cleaver..not necessary art..person works to eliminate the smart hard working individual.
Yes, that's how I remember it.

DeSantis is playing games. Trying to run for President and stay governor of Florida which is specifically against Florida law. He’s acting like another cheap tricks politician, scheming and plotting, or worse yet, weak and indecisive. DeSantis is just burning bridges.
Before you post such a question you might want to start with the online influences supporting DeSantis, and other assorted trolls about their obvious behavior of constantly lying about President Trump and his accomplishments.
When you start doing that, I will have more confidence in your objectivity.
Trump widens lead over DeSantis, rest of ‘24 GOP primary field; Biden holds slight general election edge: poll
Trump stands at 46%, DeSantis at 32% in new national poll, far ahead of everyone else in the growing 2024 GOP presidential primary field

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
I just noticed that “federal” is missing from the list of offices in (3)(a)! Contrary to news reports at the time, there is NO reason he can’t run for president while serving as Governor. In fact, he could even BE governor and President at the same time, as unwise as that would be. He can’t run for CONGRESS and the presidency at the same time because those offices are concurrent and the elections are simultaneous. But this utterly doesn’t apply to DeSantis.
Ping to 96. Looks like this doesn’t apply at ALL to DeSantis, and never will.
Because he’s trying to get new laws passed in Florida, one is Constitutional Carry, the other is open carry, Florida has a huge budget surplus how that is handled will be a campaign issue in the primary and general election should DeSantis win the nomination, besides another month or two is not going to matter, him getting some legislative accomplishments that he can brag about will only help.
Putting Wray in as FBI Director.
Endorsing McDaniel as GOP Chair
Endorsing McCarthy for Speaker
Inserting himself into Pennsylvania politics, pushing horrible candidates that all lost, resulting in near total Democrat control of the commonwealth.
Empowering Fauci
Giving Big Pharma blanket immunity
Spending trillions on Covid relief that started the current inflation
Failing to finish the wall
Not firing Gen Milley after lying to him about Syria, his behavior after St John's Church was burned.
Trump is Deep State
OK, I only caught the back-and-forth when Trump attacked O’Dea. Frankly, I respected Trump’s attack MORE when I thought it was over O’Dea being socially center-left. Turns out, as always, it’s always all about Trump.
When asked whether he approved of Trump’s then-fairly-recent behavior, O’Dea said he would endorse a Republican other than Trump, and actively support that other candidate, faulting Trump’s handling of January 6. But O’Dea also said he would support Trump in the general election.
Trump, OTOH, urged O’Dea’s defeat, EFFECTIVELY ENDORSING THE DEMOCRAT!!!!!
