A new political action committee has formed attempting to draft Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024, and it is being run by a Republican consultant heavyweight who has been a veteran of campaigns involving former GOP Presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
DeSantis, running this year for a second term as Florida governor, has consistently led polls among Republican primary voters if Trump isn’t a contender. However, when Trump is included in the polling, DeSantis usually runs a distant second.
The Ready for Ron PAC is being led by two generations. Ed Rollins was the campaign chairman for Reagan’s 1984 landslide of 49 states and ran the pro-Trump Great America PAC for the 2020 election. Lilian Rodríguez-Baz, a newcomer to politics, is a Miami appellate attorney and conservative activist. The two teamed to start the online petition to gather signatures encouraging DeSantis to announce a 2024 presidential run.

DeSantis has got Broward and Palm Beach under control after firing Brenda Snipes and Susan "Frau Blucher" Bucher.
He's got to deal with the riggers in central Florida and up in the northeast corner.
But do we have time?
“I will vote for him against almost anyone except DJT.”
Agreed
We need to keep Florida as well, so they gotta get a Next In Line established.
Remember it was kinda close last time . . .
Rat Rattenspewer: "You've been adjudicated!!"
Trump/DeSantis 2024
DeSantis/whoever 2028
DeSantis/whoever 2032
Yeah. In 2028. After Trump gets his stolen second term restored.
Ed Rollins is a Richard Head and we’ll know more about Lillian in a week.
Welcome to Free Republic!
Sorry, but no. Trump/DeSantis 2024, Desantis 2028 and 2032.
The fear of trump is increasing and that’s a good sign.
Rollins? Is he STILL alive?
Forget Rollins/loser/yesterday/worthless
Oh... I don’t want DeSantis to run AGAINST Trump, so if he does, Rollins is your guy.
DeSantis a great pick for VP. He is young and inexperienced. Four years under Trump and he will be ready to take over.
NOT NOW!
When people (other than in Florida) hear his name, they go WHO?
Vice President DeSantis, has a nice ring to it.
“Gov DeSantis is in his 40s and has time to wait out the Trump tidal wave, not drown in it. He would make a dream ticket with Trump or a dream ticket as a Pres candidate in 28. I will vote for him against almost anyone except DJT.”
Let me repeat that! Oh, I just did.
Are you my brother from another mother? Long lost twin? My clone? A son I never knew I had? /s
I couldn’t agree more!
Ed Rollins in mainline GOP. This is the GOPe trying to push Trump out the door in coordination with this Jan. 6 nonsense.
Ed Rollins is a Bush League Republican.
Beware.
That the GOPe is so comfortable with DeSantis is a red flag for me.
Sounds like a PAC with an agenda. NeverTrump and divide the GOP.
That’s what is going on. The Uniparty is all hoping this Jan. 6 committee nonsense will give the coup de grace to Trump and MAGA.
“Pro-Ron equals anti-Trump.”
Correct!
Those pushing DeSantis to run INSTEAD of Trump are anti-Trump for sure.
The correct answer is Trump/DeSantis 2024 and DeSantis/? in 2028.
TWELVE YEARS of CONSERVATIVE/POPULIST leadership. The left would never recover.
The nomination is Trump’s for the asking. NO ONE can defeat him in a Primary. He beat what 12 or 13 opponents last time? ALWAYS was “center stage”.
To primary Trump would be like trying to steal the nomination from an incumbent president (which to me he IS).
Trying to take the nomination from Trump would just bloody everyone when no one has even a chance of defeating him.
DeSantis/Paul 2024
There’s a lot of work to be done and Trump’s really not up to it. For all his bluster, he has no balls...
If Trump wins, we may not get a DeSantis anytime soon. Look what Trump's first term got us in 2020...
Agree. Not buying! Remember Perot!
Yes DeSantis has time but as you say “do we have time.”
I know some people would rather have a “coronation” as opposed to a “primary.” I think a primary where policies, strategies and who has the best chance of winning are discussed would be healthy for the conservative movement. When we have a nominee, all of us, even those who are currently “Trump or nobody” conservatives, will see the importance of getting behind the nominee in order to win and send the Obama people home (for good I hope).
