DeSantis edges closer to 2024 decision
The HIll ^ | 02/09/23 | AMIE PARNES AND MAX GREENWOOD

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is on the cusp of making a final decision on a 2024 presidential run.

Several Republicans familiar with the deliberations say that DeSantis is almost certain to seek the GOP’s presidential nomination. His advisers have begun reaching out to and interviewing potential hires for a campaign and are gaming out the best time to announce his intentions.

A formal campaign launch is still months away, they say, and won’t likely come until after the state legislature wraps up its regular session in May. Two sources familiar with the plans said that the Florida governor could announce his presidential bid as early as late May or early June.

“I think his mind is pretty much made up at this point,” one Republican operative said. “My read on it is: Let’s get through session, get some stuff done and see where things stand. But unless something changes drastically between now and then, I’d say he’s a go.”

Behind the scenes, DeSantis’s advisers have also begun actively laying the groundwork for a national campaign, reaching out to potential hires as they look to staff up his political operation. Among those involved in the preparations are Phil Cox and Generra Peck, two veteran DeSantis campaign aides.

Another Republican with ties to DeSantis said that “this is his moment.” While the Florida governor has been floated as a potential presidential hopeful for years, he gained even more momentum after scoring a staggering 19-point win in his November reelection bid — a margin that hasn’t been seen in a Florida gubernatorial race in four decades.

“He needs to seize the opportunity now because who knows what things will look like down the road,” the person said. “He has the momentum

Im committed to no candidate at this point. I simply abhor hypocrisy, cult behavior and misinformation.
DeSantis has so far accomplished much, with no fanfare. I’m sick of words and no action. It’s all we’ve had for decades.
I’m also tired of being told one thing verbally while the other hand does another. It’s old and stale.

The powers that be in both political parties want Donald Trump’s scalp.

Folks here really need to understand the group we are fighting. Folks think they are some FR knitting circle.
I’ve spent time in their secret holes (my parents and sibling are Anons). They will burn this country down.
Instead of listening and responding to their niceties, go join their groups and see how they really feel about normies. Look at ReAwaken America tour, where they even debate whose christian enough (not Catholics) to run for office, no Jews either (unless saved). Their spiritual leaders? Flynn and Roger Stone who claims a demonic worm hole opened up over the white House.
They want a theocracy not a Republic.

Florida's GOP-led legislature is still working on that.

So they are going to change the Resign-to-Run law instead of DeSantis doing the right thing and resigning, or better yet, serving his full term and then running?

I am not the source or the originator of any hint or suggestion, or rumors of the presidential aspirations, of saint Desantis.

I have read endless articles regarding the peoples saint Desantis has been entertaining that have nothing to do with being governor…. This activity became National the day the FIBs broke into Mar-A-Lago…. Trump was going to jail …. Said all the rhino ‘LAWYERS’, cough, cough, cough…. Now pray tell what is saint Desantis calling…

You do what you can to keep him. I will do whatever I can to help you out.

Wrong. The rats don’t want to run against Trump. They fear him.

Sorry but Trump's expiration date was 2020. The Democrats know it. Are we stupid enough to vote for Trump in 2024? The past is the past. Look to the future. That's DeSantis.

I doubt he’ll ever get Trump’s support again. He’s not much differentthan Romneyin this way. He begged for his support and when he thought he wasno longer needed he became an enemy. Shows the characterod the man. His play now is run in 2024 or bust. He’ll get destroyed in 2028 because if Trump is President or not this will not be forgotten by Trump or his supporters.

The communist Hill has been pushing DeSantis right along. That is one of the reasons I was suspicious of him. But he has done a lot for Florida so I was not sure what to think. His love for Dominion and the like made up my mind for me.

He didn’t need to. DeSantis was a shoo-in in 2022.

And they’re going to screw over DeSantis with election fraud just like they did with Trump. And DeSantis doesn’t have the stones to dismantle DC like Trump has.

DeSantis is a globalist tool.

Trump left DC a lot stronger than he found it. A lot.
