It would certainly make sense for DeSantis not to run if DJT does.He may accept the VP slot if it was offered to him but the only ones who would run against Trump are the RINOs...in order to weaken him for November.

That would be a very bad, self destructive idea.

"They both can’t run. They’re from the same state."

Trump spends half his year in Bedminster, and with just a few more days in-Jersey, could easily switch his residency to NJ, so as to run with Floridian DeSantis as VP.

How so?
President Trump is going to know the US Senate results for 2024 beforehand?

No but he’ll get a good idea on how well repub turnout will be and will see if repubs take either house in 2022. Doesn’t guarantee what will happen in 2024 but it will be an indicator on how serious conservatives are about taking things back and also an indicator on how many hispanics/blacks have swapped sides.

"What campaign finance law prevents him from announcing now?"

The campaign finance laws governing President Trump's Save American PAC.

The only restriction on money in a leadership PAC—it can’t be used to campaign for an office,” says campaign finance attorney Brett Kappel. “You could use it to buy a suit, or pay your legal bills. He could put his kids on the payroll of the leadership PAC. He could put anyone on the payroll of the leadership PAC as long as they’re doing work for the PAC.” Trump could even put himself on the payroll, Kappel adds. But all those perks go away if Trump declares himself an official candidate. So if Trump were to declare himself a candidate, the hundreds of millions he has raised for his Save America PAC cannot be used for any expense directly related to his 2024 presidential campaign. If he wants to open a presidential campaign office, if he wants to hold rallies as a presidential candidate, if he wants to buy ads for his bid to retake the White House—none of that can be funded by this money.

Not only is it easier to spend money with a leadership PAC, there are fewer fundraising restrictions, says Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance attorney and vice president of policy and litigation at watchdog group Common Cause. “Candidates need to be raising the money under a much lower contribution limit—$2,800 per election, per donor, for the 2024 primary, versus the Save America PAC which can raise $5,000 per calendar year per donor,” Ryan says."

"The you should have no problem pointing to a single post of mine advocating a DeSantis run or expressing a preference for him over Trump."

Sorry but Trump has to make it through Jan 6 and Merrick Garland, possible grand jury. Then he still has NY AG to deal with and that investigation.

Having a sizeable majority in house and Senate won’t help Trump much if both McConnell and McCarthy tie his hands to do what they want, select for Judges, positions they want, AG they want, hell they may even tell Trump he can’t fire Garland. We did that song and dance with Ryan and McConnell.

I want DeSantis.

I’m going to support and vote for Trump. And if for any reason Trump does not prevail, DeSantis will be an excellent Plan B.

Can’t go wrong.

I agree.... also. There are things that are not going to be popular that need to be done and it is best that trump do these things and then DeSantis comes in for a possible 8 more years. the net affect will be that the supreme court will be cleaned up long term not a bounce back to non-structuralist control of constitutional interpretation
