I have heard from two people very familiar with the DeSantis campaign — a major donor and a high-level political operative — that if the Florida governor loses the Iowa caucuses to former President Donald Trump as expected on the night of Jan. 15, he will either drop out of the race that night or make his announcement the next morning.
More than that, both believe DeSantis will then — very begrudgingly — endorse Trump for president.
Should both predictions come to pass, DeSantis would be jumping on a bandwagon that is dramatically increasing in speed and taking on more and more Republican politicians looking to back the clear frontrunner. Last week, Trump received critically important endorsements from House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (Minn.) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (La.). Those are on top of Speaker Mike Johnson’s (La.) endorsement just a month ago.
Joining the Minnesotan Emmer was the rest of the GOP congressional delegation from that state: Reps. Michelle Fischbach, Pete Stauber and Brad Finstad.
Trump also just secured the endorsement of Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, quite a substantial one in conservative and faith-based circles, as Cotton became an unplanned “folk hero” to many on the right when the New York Times first ran his opinion piece on June 3, 2020, titled “Send in the Troops” — regarding the protests and riots taking place in many American cities after the horrific death of George Floyd — before disowning the essay after massive backlash from within the paper.

LMAO at that Pic, Liberty
Yup.
He should have dropped out months ago.
Agreed and Vivek is not eligible anymore than Nimratta is. Trump should offer it to Rand Paul. Or maybe Josh Hawley.
NO WAY we need those two in the senate!!!!
Should stay in to make the Rumpsters boot lickers think up more childish names
They're amazing in the Senate. You want someone like Vivek who's good at talking so he can take up the bully pulpit as the VP.
What is it with his boots? That’s insane
Your #58. Is right on target. He has been a great governor and has shifted voting patterns.here.
He is using the other end intentionally to drive the metal wedge.
“Agreed and Vivek is not eligible anymore than Nimratta is.”
Absolutely. That goes without saying.
Watch how Trump embrasses him...”
Did you mean to type “Embraces” or “embarrasses”? I suppose it go either way. ;-)
It’s backwards because he’s striking the wedge.
