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.

There sure are a lot of these Desantis threads on Free Republic. And the comments tend to devolve into some Trump supporters bashing DeSantis and vice versa.

Maybe DeSantis will surprise us all and decide not to run for president in 2024.

I don’t think DeSantis will run for president, unless Trump drops out.

I do think he is running for vice-president. Trump can only run for one more term, and if DeSantis is VP he will be front-runner for 2028.

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

Does the timeline include when he drops out and eventually endorses Trump?

My pic of the Bush clan supporting DeSantis is current.

That would be disappointing and highly unlikely.

Every indication is this man is going to run for president.

If GOP primary voters are smart, they'll nominate him.

There's a thing called a law, in Florida, that prevents a sitting Governor from declaring for another office.

Isn’t it wonderful to see a consultant managed, corporation owned campaign?
