TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is poised to jump into the presidential fray as soon as mid-May, four GOP operatives familiar with the conversations told NBC News.
One of the sources emphasized that it would be an exploratory committee rather, with the official launch coming soon after.

Some of his backers are urging him to declare as early as May 11, in an effort to counter the creeping national narrative that former President Donald Trump is the overwhelming front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination. Others in the governor’s orbit, however, have argued that that date would be too soon, according to two of those sources. All emphasized, however, that mid-May is the target.
I’m just here for the nasty comments.

If he would jump on the Trump train in 2024, win or lose, he would carry a very favorable reputation into 2028, He is young enough to make the wait worthwhile, IMO
A political climber. Whatever it takes to climb the ladder.
Never seen a Governor re-elected overwhelmingly & promised to finish his term take a liquid dump on the very voters of his state.
Maybe Gillum should have won after all.
His goal isn’t to stay somewhere and finish a task . It’s to do something that will earn him a lot of praise and help him climb to the next rung of the ladder.
This whole charade of ‘I’m not running’ while traveling the country and the world just smacks of dishonesty.
The last thing this country needs in the White House is another Ivy League lawyer turned career politician.
You are a marxist enabling piece of crap.
totally agree with that sentiment.
Condolences to conservative Floridians.
You are about to trade in a pretty good Governor, (who promised to finish his term), for a mediocre at best, establishment elite backed, Presidential Candidate.
Yeah, you are likely all in on Trump in 2028, huh.
haha
He’s becoming your typical Republican. I have nothing against him, love the job he’s done in FL, will never attack him or his family personally.
But deep down, he knows DAMN WELL Trump got screwed over in 2020 and pretty much blocked throughout his 1st term. This is Trump’s Russell Crowe Gladiator movement here. He needs to get his revenge on these mofos.
A political climber. Whatever it takes to climb the ladder.

DeSantis doesn’t have a ladder high enough to scale the Orange Skyscraper.
Also, as the number two guy he’ll catch a lot of arrows from candidates further down the totem pole.
He’ll look like a pin cushion by Christmas.
