Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' resounding victory over Democrat Charlie Crist — fueled by the strongest GOP showing in Miami-Dade County in two decades — has cemented his position as a 2024 presidential contender.
Why it matters: The big, broad win is a massive show of force against former President Trump, whose blessing propelled DeSantis to office. DeSantis is the first GOP governor to win Miami-Dade County, a Democratic stronghold, since Jeb Bush's re-election in 2002. He did so by double digits.
"Never seen a race that big in my history of working in Florida politics. That's an absolute bloodbath," a Florida-based Democratic consultant told Axios' Alexi McCammond.

The big picture: DeSantis' 2024 stock has steadily risen over the past year, even as Trump has grown more serious about his presidential plans — now believed to be imminent — to declare a formal comeback bid.
DeSantis' campaign and aligned political committee raised an astonishing $200 million for his re-election, with $90 million left burning a hole in the bank as the term-limited governor contemplates his next move. GOP megadonor Ken Griffin told Politico this week he would back DeSantis in 2024, saying "it's time to move on to the next generation."

I will vote for the nominee ……
Trump can’t win. Sorry.
I have to think that in two years there will be a significant number of Republican presidential primary voters who would prefer a candidate who 1) won his latest election and 2) has demonstrated he can actually govern and not just run his mouth.
So much cope this morning.
I am done with Trump, and wont be voting for him again. The sooner he is peeled away, the better.
DeSantis-trump 2024........has a nice ring to it....don’t ya think?
The fix is in. TPTB have already decided who our next president will be in the 2024 selection.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea. Where else are you going to go?
Yup. You are very right.
The MSM would rather have Trump than DeSantis as the GOP nominee because their goal will be for Biden to cakewalk to re-election.
Think Teddy Roosevelt.
He was a similarly popular President who lost a second time around.
All real and informed conservatives know this. Now there are some ignorant ones that can see the truth and know to tell Trump to ride into the sunset. The ones who refuse we’ll know aren’t real conservatives.
What mental derangement drives you to post the same drivel eight (8) times in a thread with only 47 comments? Are there medications for this disorder?
Sounds to me like your just plain ol’ scared shitless of Ron DeSantis......maybe YOU better get used to it. LOL!
DeSantis-trump 2024.........yep....got a real nice ring to it. 😂
Well I hope he can win without Trump republicans.
Seriously it was like two different elections, Florida and the Rest of the US. In Florida democrats got decimated across the board, in the rest of the US, well, not so much.
St.Ron can’t win without us. Not to worry because Trump will be the ‘24 GOP candidate.
Suntan Ron is Orange Man II. He can wait until ‘28.
I think Fetterman can beat any GOP candidate in PA. The candidates don’t even matter with mail in voting. It’s like signing people up for cable.
