I think Ron DeSantis will be the next Repub candidate. And so do a lot of people I know. He’s smart as they come, personable, a strong governor who takes no shi-ite from anyone. Nice family man. Plus he has no TDS to overcome.
His most brilliant move was to go up to Brandon, FL to announce that companies in FL did not have to follow some idiot Biden rule that all employees had to be vaxed. Companies could choose for themselves.
“Let’s Go Brandon” in spades.
Wildcard: I heard DeSantis interviewed about 2 weeks ago. His wife is being treated for cancer. Sounds like chemotherapy. They have 3 kids who are fairly young. The time might not be ‘right’ for him to run. But the election is 3 years off and he probably doesn’t have to make a decision for at least a year.
