DeSantis should have waited until 2028. This battle for the nomination is his fault.

“This battle for the nomination is his fault”

Pompeo and Pence have talked a lot more about running for President than Desantis has.

There is no “battle”.
DeSantis hasn't even declared yet.

>> DeSantis should have waited until 2028.

Somehow, I missed his announcement for 2024.

Is he running?

Just how fragile are you Trump acolytes? What a bunch of snowflakes. What battle??

DeSantis should have waited until 2028. This battle for the nomination is his fault.

Maybe. If the Republicans are going to nominate someone else, let's say Youngkin or Rubio. Then Trump decides to run 3rd party. He will get 15%-20% of the vote in the General Election.

Biden gets reelected easily. So DeSantis may want to avoid that clash and wait until 2028 when the Republican Party can finally heal from Trump's self-destruction.

There's still time for Trump to realize. "Maybe I should not do this" and hopefully he will. Biden needs Trump to get reelected.
