Let me remind y’all he won in ‘20 as well only to cheated in the end.
I just don't see a path for DeSantis here. Trump supporters simply aren't going to abandon him, they know he was screwed out of 2 terms, and they see all the usual GOPe suspects lining up behind DeSantis.
The only way DeSantis wins is if Trump fully endorses him, or dies.
Nothing against DeSantis, he's a great Governor, but it's just not there for him.
