Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) meteoric rise in Republican politics is putting him on track for a possible clash with former President Trump, who is dangling the prospect of a third White House campaign.
DeSantis’s popularity among the GOP faithful has mushroomed over his handling of the coronavirus, and he’s found himself at the center of several news cycles, including over his signing of a controversial voting restriction bill and the collapse of a south Florida condominium building.
That support and attention, combined with his reelection fight next year, are fueling speculation that DeSantis is gearing up for a 2024 run. But Trump remains wildly popular among Republican voters, and any move seen as trying to oust him from his role as party leader risks a backlash among his followers — and the former president himself.

Trump does not like competition for the spotlight. There’s only one person who counts, and it’s not Ron DeSantis

DeSantis is an able governor. Nothing more. He is not in Trump’s league as a movement founder and leader and he would be wise to remember that.

Does it even occur to them that they are on the same team and will work together?

Trump said a while back that he’d be too old to run in 2024. And he’s right.
We need age limits for all elected officials.

I think you’re right.
But it doesn’t matter. He will be much too old. If Biden is, then Trump will also be too old to risk.

You just proved the statement about “any move seen as trying to oust him from his role as party leader…”

Obvious. They want to create a ‘war’ between Trump and DeSantis..Maybe they even believe their own BS. Pathetic, but I don’t really read anything from “the hill’.
