Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis convened recently with several prominent Republicans as he considers a possible presidential run in 2024. CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa sat down with Daniel Lippman, a White House reporter for Politico, to discuss what he knows about the meeting.

Reagan entered primaries in three elections - 68, 76 and 80. Desantis has strong precedent for primarying Trump to keep him honest. After appointing so many deep staters, empowering Fauci, and failing to fulfill his promise to build the wall, Trump needs to have his feet held to the fire on the MAGA issues. No coronations
The Democrats are already positioning Gavin Newsom.
Then the country will face a choice of polar opposites. Do we want to be California or Florida?
Ok, math question for dummies. Which is more, 8 years or 12 years?
Ron is the one for 2024. I think a younger man would be better suited to be President of the United States.
Trump doesn’t fold under pressure and he had worse than any other Republican I can think of. I like Ron well enough but I have no idea if he wouldn’t crumble under the media assault he will get if he ran for President.
If you think a governor can’t go straight to a successful presidency (without coolng his heels in the do-nothin job of VP), read up on a guy called Reagan.
Touché.
And I like your name.
DeSantis is welcome to run. But don’t give us that “he’s electable” jazz. That’s how the left inserts the candidates they want to see run. Their chosen one is “electable” while our proven champ is “extreme” or whatever.
I see rinty already replied about Reagan.
“...I think a younger man would be better suited...”
I agree.
VOTE FOR THOSE THEY HATE.
That is insane advice. They KNOW that’s how we tick, they have been playing that game on us with accuracy. Lord we’ve become so predictable and easy.
You just not only explained why he should run for president, but why we NEED him to run president now…
You don’t think they hate Ron?
What the hell do you think they did to Trump?
As the saying goes, "If you're going to swing at the king, you'd best not miss."
Trump tried to take on the Deep State, he swung and missed and today the DC swamp is more powerful than ever.
Trump had his chance.
My friends in Florida don’t want DeSantis to leave just yet.
They are adamant on this point.
But this time it’s personal. He will do it this time /s
I like Governor DeSantis, also.
The toxic spew to "get" him would be epic - tsunami level.
I'm beginning to wonder if we dodged a bullet with The 2020 Steal, considering that the piper had to be paid for the coronavirus fiat money emissions.
Of course, the puppeteers of Joey Diapers have made the monetary problems infinitely worse.
Gonna make sure I have a couple-three of face cords stacked for my winter hidey-hole.
.
I hope DeSantis does not take Vice President. It’s never a lead to president except twice in 50 years. Bush senior and Biden after a 4 year pause. DeSantis should continue as governor. Perhaps take Rick Scott senate seat (he’s going to be 70 this year) and then run for president.
