The Republicans need to take this race seriously. Gillium wasn’t that far behind last time and he wasn’t even a good candidate.

DeSantis should run for Senate. He’s not going to beat Vance in 2028 but could do a lot of good for the country from the senate.

Last time was Crist and he got killed.

He’s a far cry better than Gaetz.

No. Republicans have a problem with blacks running statewide. Just look at the evidence/history. Enough republicans just don’t trust them. Virginia’s Lt. Gov. will find that out if she runs.

The governor is term limited I believe.

One can be reelected to Congress until one is Pelosi’s age.

Future cash flow and Republican control of the House is important.

They are planning on making the Florida governor salary about the same as that of a congressman.

DeSantis is pretty wealthy apparently:

Sad but true.

Anyways, Latinos make up the second largest racial/ethnic demographic in Florida after whites. Probably have better luck there. Lt Gov Jeanette Nuñez is well-positioned to capitalize on DeSantis's successful tenure.

I’d be happy to vote for either one, but Donalds needs to plan his financial future.

Being former governor won’t even get you a cup of coffee at McDonald’s.

Don’t see how Donalds is remotely qualified for the Florida governorship.

A Credit Analyst from New York City?

Whatever are you people drinking?

I’m sure the vote fraud made him look more viable than he really was.You remember the fiasco at the hotel involving him?I’m sure all of that was well known by more than a few people

More hype by political junkies. Trump isn’t going to endorse him over Gaetz and Gaetz has the nomination for the taking. Regardless of who you like. Trump has to do something for Gaetz

I have a hard time believing that as they can’t even get right why it’s hard to get a constitutional amendment passed.

It happened long before DeSantis.
