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.
Well DeSantis can’t run for Trump’s VP. 12th Amendment and all.

Why would Trump make DeSantis his VP? Presidential candidates generally pick VP candidates from a different segment of the party than the one they represent. There's no advantage to be gained in having a MAGA-MAGA ticket; Trump's VP should be someone who appeals to the moderate Republicans. Besides, the VP is a largely ceremonial role and not well suited to a fighter like DeSantis. I expect both men know this.
Can’t have POTUS and VP candidates from the same state.
