Sorry, but WRONG..
Desantis has polled below Trump against Biden since March...
Desantis is a non starter/never was. Dumbest campaign messaging ever..
“Hey, I’m just like that guy you really want and like, but somehow, I’m better, so vote for me.”
Absolutely stupidest messaging I’ve ever seen.
But don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself... DeSantis being more “electable” than Trump is a flat out lie.. he hasn’t polled better against Biden since March... Trump has outperformed him for months... The only argument he has, has fallen apart.
Desantis won’t even win the Primary in his home state as the sitting governor, but he can do better in a national race? Not a chance in hell...
The electability argument is just the same old same old establishment playbook... when all else fails say the other person is “unelectable” to scare folks back on the plantation.

Or maybe, he was just talking over your head, and you didn't realize it.
Did you even read the quotes in the parent article? I'm assuming you certainly haven't seen the video of the interview.
Because the point DeSantis is making, that you're not addressing, is that NATIONAL polls do not matter, in a Presidential race.
It's what happens in each individual state, not what happens nationally.
For example, Trump would have lost to Hillary in 2016 had NATIONAL results been what counted.
State results are what count, as that's how the electoral college works. And, in these swing states like Georgia and Arizona, that Trump lost in 2020, which thereby cost him the election, DeSantis is scoring significantly higher than Trump in those same states now.
Will that message, and actual explanation of how election works win DeSantis the overall election? Maybe, or maybe not. Most Trump supporters seem happy in their little bubble of national polls. But state elections are how Presidents are selected.
If you look at most polls, Trump and DeSantis are both equal and within the margin of error with Biden.
