“The smartest strategic move for DeSantis would be to withdraw, endorse DJT, and regroup for 2028.
That includes ditching Karl Rove, the Bushes, and Paul Ryan.”
You are absolutely right, but that won’t happen. DeSantis will not abandon his base
His base...what is it 8% now? Could he even win in Florida as a Presidential candidate?
A poll found that Florida Republicans strongly favor former President Trump over their governor, Ron DeSantis, in a hypothetical 2024 presidential primary contest.
The new Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab poll showed that Trump held a 20-point lead over DeSantis among registered GOP voters when asked whom they would support if the 2024 primary were held today. Half said Trump, while 30 percent said DeSantis and 7 percent said they were undecided.
