DeSantis has made a concerted effort to keep in touch with the people who supported his presidential campaign, including donors and leaders in the early nominating states. Those close to him say he is actively considering how best to maintain his national profile and influence, including potential endorsements in congressional races.

His recent moves appear distinctly aimed at keeping intact his political operation and his popularity with Republicans.

DeSantis, though, is intent on remaining a relevant figure in the GOP regardless of what happens to Trump. He has tested new strategies for growing his following, including posting self-recorded videos online where he opines on the political debate du jour or playfully features his young children.

Why the #### AT THIS TIME is he going around acting like he is still campaignin saying Trump has too much baggage and Trump accomplished nothing as President and DeSantis would have won if it wasn’t for those meddling Trump supports and conservative media???

desanctimonious hypocrites....

for over a year, desantis supporters and nevertrumpers attacked, lied and misrepresented Trump and his supporters....

and as cover for their actions, they told the Trump supporters here to remember Reagan’s words about not saying bad things about fellow Republican’s to try to silence Trump supporters from attacking desantis...

all the while they continued attacking Trump...

Well, since desanctus is still campaigning, he’s still fair game.
