DeSantis lays out timeline for 2024 decision
The Hill ^ | 02/20/23 | BY MAX GREENWOOD

Posted on 02/20/2023 11:27:22 AM PST by conservative98

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) hinted on Monday that he will make a decision on a 2024 presidential run after the state’s legislative session wraps up in May, giving the clearest timeline yet of when he could enter the race.

Asked on “Fox & Friends” when he might decide on a White House bid, DeSantis mapped out the coming months, saying that he would embark on a tour to promote his new book, “The Courage to be Free,” and work through the Florida legislature’s regular session, which begins in early March.

“We’re going to sell some books, we’re going to spread the message of Florida. And then on March 8, I have our Legislative Session that’s kicking off,” DeSantis said.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” he added. “This is going to be the most productive Legislative Session we have had across the board and I think people are going to be really excited … So those are what we’re going to be doing over these next few months as we get beyond that, then we can decide from there.”

Republican sources have long predicted that DeSantis would wait until after the state legislative session to announce a presidential bid, saying that it would give him a chance to rack up new policy victories so that he hits the campaign trail with fresh momentum.

I’d bet DeSantis will not run because he knows the votes would be rigged.

Unless they can rig Newsom to the (D) nomination, DeSantis, the #2 choice of the "donor community", is the next President.

Any "rigging" will be in his favor.

you’re using looney leftists tactics with your refusal to address the rest of my post...

trump’s has 2 failed marriages...

trump filed for bankruptcy 6 times...

please stop playing stupid games...

trump has 2 failed marriages and paid off 2 ex wives...


Just so there’s no misunderstanding, this is the entirety of the post I was responding to, word for word. Nothing added. Nothing taken away:

“trump has 2 failed marriages and paid off 2 ex wives...”

No references to bankruptcy there. Can you not read, are you stupid, or is lying just your way of changing the subject when you have no response? Either way, you’re pathetic.

“has it ever occurred to you that ron desantis is teaching people how to be winners instead of whiners???...”

Well if that’s what he’s up to, it hasn’t worked on you.

“Any politician, but especially any governor, who has a “timeline for his decision” has already decided.”

Well said.

Is that what passes as debate, for you? If so, you’ve got a lot of work to do.

“You told us he wasn’t running.”

That was somebody else.


“He is going to be crushed like a zit.”

In all likelihood.

Right now, it looks like Ron has the Bush family square behind him!

That right there is warning enough that voting for DeSantis would spell the end of the MAGA dream.

Re: 134 - Good points and underscores the need for a robust primary season.

Let’s be honest - many politicians have an incredible senses of ego and sometimes a lack of perspective. A example - that commercial by DeSantis made in the mold of Paul Harvey’s “So God Made a Farmer”. Was awful, and showed a real lack of humility with lots of ego. Just cringeworthy.

The Republican primaries will expose vulnerabilities of each candidate including huge outsized egos and lack of perspective - both of which can cloud judgement.
