No way. That’s what makes him. Firstly, if he didn’t say it you’d never know. You just keep hearing DeSantis is the new party leader. 1.1m less than Trump 2 years ago. DeSantis’ number couldn’t beat Biden. A little perspective is good.
The counter to this perspective is that fewer people voted in Florida this election cycle than in 2020. And DeSantis had a higher percentage this year than Trump did in 2020.
