Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a clear pathway to running for president in 2024, emerging from the coronavirus pandemic as the most recognizable Republican governor in the country.
But Democrats, hoping to reverse years of letdown in marquee races and mismanagement inside the state party, are eager to stop the Republican governor before he even gets to the starting line of a presidential bid, viewing the 2022 gubernatorial election in Florida as a chance to cut short the governor's surge.
"It is always easier to stop someone's rise sooner rather than later," said David Turner, spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association. "You don't lose your race for governor and then run for president." DeSantis burnished his position as a conservative media darling on Thursday when he signed a controversial bill aimed at curbing access to voting in the state during a so-called exclusive event with Fox News.
A group of organizations swiftly filed a lawsuit against the bill, but the point already had been made: DeSantis has the Fox News platform and can use it to deliver on Republican priorities.

8 more of Trump and 8 of DeSantis ?
Welcome back, Amertica !
With Crist? Good luck with that one.
The Democrats fear DeSantis. They’ve destroyed Trump (as much as I love that guy).
No matter who runs for the GOP in 2024, it won’t matter unless what happened in 2020 (stolen election) won’t be repeated.
It's over before it started.
“ DeSantis burnished his position as a conservative media darling on Thursday when he signed a controversial bill aimed at curbing access to voting….”
Keep in’ up the Big Lie I see.
Nixon lost to a popular incumbent, he didn’t lose gubernatorial reelection in a Republican state.
The Democrat quoted put in no qualifiers.
DeSantis might actually fight it though. Notice Broward wasn’t a problem in 2020.
They have four long years to character assassinate him. Believe me right now they are in the back room like a bunch of witches brewing up in their cauldron pot something to cause havoc, disruption, and destruction on the state of Florida. Mark my words!
Is this based on some rumor or just a guess? Obviously they will try to take him down, but I mean with regard to the method.
Character assassinate? Just turn the DOJ loose on him. Easy.
The dems have already activated their front line troops, the media here in Florida. It has been that way for at least six months.
Unless the use and/or possession of a Dominion fraud machine is made a felony, there won't be a need for pretending there are elections.
Since the Commies are in power, they won't vote to take away their source of power.
“No matter who runs for the GOP in 2024, it won’t matter unless what happened in 2020 (stolen election) won’t be repeated.”
You are exactly right! The election is the key to all of it. We can’t repair and erase the Bidama socialist revolution without taking the cockroaches out of the election machines.
I’m in Florida. I’ve seen the attacks. But I’ve missed any suggestion of tax evasion, so that’s why I asked if that part of it was based on rumor or just a guess. He’s obviously the biggest target for the Dems right now.
Just cheat. Rarely fails. Gillum and Fat Stacy excluded maybe.
