Nobody in America had a better election night in 2022 than Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. With a nearly 20-point margin of victory over Charlie Crist, he far exceeded even the boldest pollster prediction of a 13-point win, and did so in sharp contrast with the fortunes of many other Republicans around the country who were expected to cruise to easy wins, but didn’t.
The result caught the attention of Republicans across the country who might otherwise not have taken note of the Florida governor’s performance. That’s not to say that DeSantis wasn’t already under consideration by many forward-thinking Republicans around the country surveying the national scene for a 2024 presidential contender, but the 2022 election results put a spotlight on DeSantis in a way most presidential hopefuls can only dream of.
DeSantis is rightly coy about his plans for 2024, but there will likely never be another opportunity quite as golden as the one that lies before him right now. Assuming he and his family are willing to embark on a grueling White House campaign, the 2024 election is his best shot.
And, with a little help from his GOP friends in the Florida legislature who are expected to alter the state’s resign-to-run law, he’ll have the ability to campaign from the safety of his governorship, a job he can fall back on if he comes up short in either the GOP primary or the 2024 general election, giving him two more years in Florida to regroup for another run in 2028.
In American culture, star power only glows for so long before it requires new accomplishments as fuel to keep it burning bright.
Whatever disadvantages may exist now, whatever obstacles may lie in his path, they are fewer and less formidable now than they will ever be.

I predict that you will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Go away Ron with the corrupt RINO fanbase.
Trump. Laser focus.
I am waiting for Ron to call for a “kinder and gentler MAGA”.
If Ron Runs without the Great MAGA King’s backing, his political future is done. He’ll be the new Yeb!.
Ron is the future, IF he stays away from the many temptations being offered by The Swamp.
The Never Trumpers will offer the world.
But what is world, when you give up your soul?
More blather to distract and demoralize.
The base will never vote for DeSantis in the numbers he would need. They would, rightly, consider him a weasel. What a thing to do to President Trump, who is the only reason he is governor. With friends like that, you don’t need enemies.
The entire Uniparty swamp wants DeSantis.
Whatever could it mean?
“What a thing to do to President Trump, who is the only reason he is governor. With friends like that, you don’t need enemies.”
^this^
...and more importantly this\/
“Only Donald Trump has so far dared to put his personal security and freedom on the line to denounce what D.C. has become, and only Trump has risked impeachment, indictment, and incarceration for fearlessly speaking the truth.”

It means Trump is going to win and they all know it!!!
Unless every state adopts Florida’s voting security measures I don’t know if it will make much a difference.
Everyone discussing this is ignoring that DeSantis has said not one word about running. He has to form an exploratory committee, get financial backers, meet with party leaders, etc. He's done none of that.
LOL! All those RINOs that Trump himself endorsed?
It's funny, the group of people here who are trying their best to promote the guy who fought to keep Florida open, took on Disney, took on the woke school boards, and passed parental rights bills as the "Establishment RINO" while the guy who filled his administration with Deep State stooges before handing the country over to Dr. Fauci is the "conservative outsider who will drain the swamp!"
Wrong.
Maybe a Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis ticket for 2024. Then afterwards, hopefully 8 years of a President DeSantis.
And President Trump keeps the ever-shrinking MAGA base of Trump worshippers while everyone else flees and all the independents and swing voters vote Democrat.
And 2024 ends just like 2020 with a Democrat in the White House and people on Free Republic crying, "We wuz robbed!"
Beware:
You are headed for a “TexasGator” ride the lightning experience!
They seem to have an irrational fear of him. DSDS?.
IOWs he is toast.
