Funny, I don’t recall anyone questioning how Trump did the job he was paid for when out on the road campaigning for his second term.
And nobody complained when DeSantis campaigned for a second term during the final year of his first term as governor. It’s what candidates who run for reelection do. And there’s plenty of incentive for an incumbent to not neglect his duties while campaigning for another term, as it would undermine the goals of the campaign.
What’s different with DeSantis running for President is that he just finished campaigning for 4 more years as governor when his intention was to only serve 2 of them. It will be easy for him to lose focus on what’s happening in his own state now that he’s focused on the presidency. His presidential campaign reveals the mindset of a man who’s lost interest in governing Florida.
“Funny, I don’t recall anyone questioning how Trump did the job he was paid for when out on the road campaigning for his second term.”
Don’t we expect anyone in office to campaign for the subsequent term if they choose to run again? Isn’t that just part of the territory? OTOH, being half way through your second term as gov and deciding you’re going after the next big rung on the political ladder is different. What’s especially self-serving about this is having the law changed so you don’t have to surrender your gov gig if you don’t succeed with your prez gig!
Are you kidding me? Really? He is a Governor. Trump’s business is private. De Santis is being paid by the taxpayers of Florida and was recently elected because he said he wanted that job. He obviously was only using it as a launch pad for higher office.
Doesn’t matter, he is pretty much a dud. I can see why Trump had to help him out the first time, not that Ron appreciated it. Got the big head he did.
