Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of former President Trump, says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) should stay on as governor amid rumors that he could challenge Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024.

Greene did not directly mention DeSantis’s potential interest in a 2024 run in a Twitter thread on Friday but said that losing a “strong Republican governor” early because political consultants are urging them to run for president hurts the country because it leaves their states weak and vulnerable to poor leadership or Democratic control.

Desantis had a great night and nobody can keep their dang mouth shut. I am so pissy today.

I have seen, ITS THE FUNDING!! Desantis is a RINO because of it!!! Youngkin is trash never would have won without Trump!! Enough already.

[SoConPubbie]

This all goes away if DeSantis comes out publicly and states he will not be running in 2024 if President Trump decides or announces he is running in 2024.

At least part of this is DeSantis’s fault because he won’t come clean!

[thegagline]

DeSantis has the Trump supporters frightened. 2024 is a long ways away.

Robert T Bigelow is an eccentric billionaire. Have no idea what his politics are.

$180 million for an easy win governor's race? Come now.

Second largest expenditure was $6.3 million to Blitz Canvassing LLC in Colorado. https://www.transparencyusa.org/fl/candidate/ron-desantis-can/payees

They don't mention having done any work in FL. https://blitzcanvassing.com/

Many other expenditures for marketing, analysts etc. Tell me he's not running in 2024.

Youngkin is said to be the establishment's second choice after DeSantis. The 2024 repub primary has begun behind the scenes with donor$ so Trump is in primary mode and we all know how that works from 2016. Barbs, put downs and nicknames.

DeSantis should remain FL Gov like Cruz should stay in the Senate. They’re good at their current jobs

It seems obvious to me that Trump has heard it through the grape vine that Desantis is seriously considering running for president. And Trump is very upset about that. He feels betrayed.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

The fight is over this Congress. I hope Conservatives can keep their focus and not let the Liberal press lead them around by the nose. It is Trump/MAGA versus the GOPe RINOs.

MTG and a handful are Trump/MAGA.

[dynoman]

He’s already said he won’t run if Trump announces.

[2nd Amendment]

DeSantis has my vote! I hope to never vote for Trump again. He is disloyal and broke Reagan’s commandment!

[central_va]

Did Reagan speak to Pope Ron from the grave and tell him to back the loser O’Dea? Which commandment was that?

[NeverCheney]

“DeSantis has the Trump supporters frightened”

Greene doesn’t seem like somebody who frightens easily. She’s FIGHTING not frightened

[central_va]

He’s already said he won’t run if Trump announces.

Last time the Florida Pope said that was 14 months ago.

[JBW1949]

Then who are you voting for in 2024??? Biden???

[stars & stripes forever]

Comment from an article regarding DeSantis not acknowledging Trump’s endorsement helping him win the 2018 election...

In brief: that dude was born on third base and he thinks he hit himself a triple.

[Blue Highway]

Watching the DeSantis / Charlie Crist debate, I was shocked Desantis never answered the question posed to him several times whether he would make a pledge that he would not run for president if he wins the governor position. He just stood there smirking like a doofus. I like Desantis but that wasn’t a good look for him and kind of set off a red flag for me.

[RoseofTexas]

WELL I ENDORSE TRUMP!!! And if Trump decides not to run then I will vote for DeSantis in a heartbeat …but as for now at least I will be one that will not be Effin backstabbing him but will stand next to him and continue the fight! We’ve got too many backfreakingstabbers in our party! Man up people man up!

“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of former President Trump, says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) should stay on as governor amid rumors that he could challenge Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024.”

What rumors Marjorie? You mean the MSM that wants to divide us? Some people actually fall for this nonsense.

[unclebankster]

“DeSantis has the Trump supporters frightened. 2024 is a long ways away.”

DeSantis doesn’t scare me, he’s just a kid in terms of experience.

Plus, I like entertaining politics and this is very entertaining. Apparently, so do other people by the size of the Trump/DeSantis threads.

Great information!

Shows 53 million of 183 million in donations.

Where do we go to see the rest?

[dfwgator]

The way I see it, there are a lot of reasons why Trump won’t be able to run in 2024, could be health reasons, or whatever.

What is the Plan B?
