TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is on a collision course with the most powerful man in the GOP: Donald Trump.
DeSantis is crisscrossing the country to deliver red-meat speeches. Iowa leaders begged him to visit. He just beat Trump in a key straw poll. And now the popular governor is getting close to overshadowing the former president in the 2024 presidential sweepstakes.
All of that could be dangerous for DeSantis’ political health, as Trump continues to ponder a new bid for the White House and remains capable of kneecapping any Republican he sees as a threat.
“It makes it difficult to openly start campaigning as [Trump] at least contemplates running again,” said Saul Anuzis, former chair of the Republican Party of Michigan, cautioning it’s still “early” in the election cycle. “It keeps activists on the sidelines.”
DeSantis, who has the benefit of claiming he’s just running for reelection, continues to gain accolades for opening up Florida during the coronavirus pandemic sooner than most large states. His frequent appearances on Fox News put him in the national spotlight almost nightly. Last weekend, DeSantis beat Trump 74-71 in the annual Western Conservative Summit’s straw poll in Denver — results that surprised even organizers of the summit. Last year, Trump won the same straw poll with nearly 95 percent support.

What BS
They fear DeSantis, that’s why the hit pieces.
DeSantis is a huge Trump ally
,....so everyone is trying to divide and conquer these two!
POLITICO = garbage
ESAD, POLITICO!
POLITICO CRAP!!! WE NEED RED FLAGS on postings like this...
ESAD, Politico.
DeSantis has done good things in Florida, but he is also the establishment’s choice over Trump.
The reason Fox books him so often is that they would much rather have him than Trump. They consider DeSantis more pliable.
The Rat Media are so desperate to stop President Trump they are openly getting behind DeSantis.
But it’s a joke. DeSantis wouldn’t be so stupid and he knows it’s best to let President Trump lead unless he decides otherwise.
DeSantis’ people say he wouldn’t challenge President Trump. So this is Rat Media once again trying to find a way, any way to stop President Trump who they can’t control.
DeSantis is what, 42? Not enough time? Like there’s others after Trump? If there are we are very lucky.
Rough translation:
“Go after DeSantis, please!”
Trump is happy to win or lose on his own merits.
Garbage is what's left over after a worthwhile purpose has been served. Politico was never useful for much of anything worthwhile.
well, they provide the anti-Conservative talking points the news readers use at MSNBC, so it keeps a few Leftist activists from hitting the unemployment line.
Politico trying to set the match for 2024.....All media will be doing so and likely sooner than later because the “Anybody but Trump” is on both sides of the aisle.
