Taking Aim at DeSantis, Spooked Trump Considers Launching 2024 Bid in Florida
Rolling Stone ^ | Asawin Suebsaeng

Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis, who — if they both run in 2024 — would likely be the former president’s most formidable competitor in a primary fight for the GOP nomination. One of the sources said Trump’s motivation is to show the governor “who the boss is” in the modern-day GOP.

Spooked? Considers?

Trump LIVES IN FLORIDA. Where else would he launch his 2024 bid? Alaska?

Why don’t they just do Trump-DeSantis 2024 and if they win, give DeSantis some real power instead of just maintaining the VP position as largely ceremonial? Then you have DeSantis in 2028 and 2032.

I don’t trust this source at ALL.

You shouldn’t, it is a known leftist source.

Trump is not hearing footsteps.

DeSantis has made clear he will not run of Trump runs.

Question this source.
We know Trump throws elbows even at his friends.
DeSantis can handle the jabs and continue his ascent.
The Dems are preparing meganucular damage against DeSantis from now on. Trump’s chirps are mere spittle.

Trump is outpacing the 2024 GOP primary field

In the June 4-5 survey, 53% of GOP voters said they would vote for Trump over at least a dozen other potential candidates if the 2024 Republican presidential primary were held today — down just 3 percentage points from his potential vote share in a survey conducted before 2022’s primary season heated up.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who for the second year running defeated Trump in an unscientific straw poll of conservative activists at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado over the weekend — saw his support tick up from 13% to 16%.

A newbie that just signed up a few weeks is posting this? Quite suspicious.

DeSantis won’t run if Trump runs. They are friends and all this crap won’t change that.

Fake news. Again. Trump owns Maralago, it’s his home state. Trump has gone after DeSantis 0 times and DeSantis has gone after Trump 0 times. Less than the number of times Harris and Obama went after Biden. If you fall for this you are one of the fools they are targeting.

You’re right - Trump went to Wharton AND he ran a successful business.

DeSantis is a good man and pray Trump will pick DeSantis as his VP... but for ‘24 it’s got to be Trump.

Trump’s one of the few people in the country who’ll be able to get us free and safe from the financial hurricane that’s coming.

DeSantis lacks the presence to be elected potus. Trump shouldn’t worry about DeSantis, Trump needs to worry about Trump
