WASHINGTON — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is crisscrossing the country as he lays the groundwork for an increasingly likely 2028 presidential campaign — refining his pitch, building relationships and working to move past his bruising 2024 defeat by President Trump.
The term-limited Sunshine State governor, 47, started the week by joining business leaders at the Milken Institute’s global conference in Beverly Hills and will keynote the New York Republican Party’s May 19 annual gala at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
“I’m in my mid-40s. [20]28, you know, maybe beyond that, I think that there’s a lot of runway,” DeSantis said Monday when asked if he would run for president.

The guy destroyed his chances by running against Trump in 2024. It should go down as one of the biggest political blunders in recent history.
Richard Nixon in 1960, Ronald Reagan went for it in 1968.
As long as it does not become a circular firing squad. I still favor Rubio. I don’t trust him completely but l think he is the strongest in the general by far and we must win 28
No he didn’t. But I don’t think DeSantis has the like ability factor that JD has or the chops to deal with global adversaries that Rubio has to win at a national level. Great governor however.
Governors make better candidates in most cases. Executive experience. Dealing with the other side. Democrats respected Reagan. They’ll respect DeSantis. JD will feel like Humphrey in ‘68-tied to an unpopular LBJ. 4 kids. Marco would be a better ‘kinder and gentler’ candidate who Trump taught to stay firm and not go wobbly like the last kinder/gentler one turned out. Would Marco attract more hispanics? I would think they’re not as crazy as the lefties are taking the party.
And to make matters worse, he was exposed as an awful candidate on the campaign trail.
The DemonRats made huge blunders in 2020 and 2024 by using an essentially soviet-style system to select Biden and Harris. Right now I’m not making a pick; instead I want to see a hard primary season that will filter out the losers and give us the strongest candidate.
I’m with you on this one.
I am supporting President Trump! I voted for him three times and deserve as REPARATIONS for all the criminal traitorous obstruction & lawfare by the opposition party, the deep state and international community; I have a right to REPARATIONS!
“overwhelming supplier” Auto Correct STRIKES AGAIN!! LOL.
Amen! Hope he runs. He will make a great president. Also, we need a sane and contested primary where all candidates have a thoughtful conversation about our country sharing the value of liberty.
Still, I think DeSantis has been an excellent governor, and would do much better than expected in a primary without Trump. However, my early support would be with Rubio. He consistently shows a deep grasp of the issues, and communicates it very well.
Right. I agree with you. The Dems will continue to use the same system to make Gavin Newsom their front-runner.
No one is going to remember what DeSantis did in 2024. If he wants to run for President, he has to improve his campaigning skills.
Right now, my money is on Rubio.
LOL.
When I was with the employer that I retired from my boss wrote a brilliant, hilarious memo that showed how auto correct makes repeated hilarious errors. In many ways it’s like the old GPS that would happily send an ignorant driver into a farm field instead of to that driver’s real destination.
Ron DeSantis has a very remarkable resume’ as a governor. His conservative credentials are impeccable.
He gets things done, while so many others in the GOP stand flat-footed.
Plus, he hasn’t been rubbing elbows with the denizens of the Beltway.
I’m fine with him, Rubio and Vance
He was seduced by the whispers of Jeb! And his Family.
He is as tainted as they come with that BS. The era of Bush and their goons is over. Stay out da Bushes!
