I think Trump would rather pass on the torch to someone who is capable, rather than running for President at his age. He’ll run if he has to, but I think Trump wants to see if DeSantis has the stuff.
How DeSantis fares in his re-election bid will be the tell. The Democrats are going to throw everything at him, and if he prevails, it’s going to be pretty tough to stop him from the nomination.
Sure he would.
” I think Trump wants to see if DeSantis has the stuff.”
Politicians are not lacking in the pretense of being copycats and DeSantis is clearly with this no different.
It’s not like it’s hard to see the writing on the wall. Everyone has access to pollsters and China Mitch was DOA when he flapped his gumlets against President Trump.
But the word I’ve heard is DeSantis is not pro-Trump. He’s close to the GOPe and he may have his own ideas and unlike President Trump, he can not advance under his own power.
They all require not only money but YUGE money to run and think what a 2024 race will cost.
