Agreed, Florida needs him and wants him. For the long-term (2028), DeSantis needs to get develop a national following. Perhaps Trump and DeSantis can come to some kind of agreement during the 2024 primaries that raises DeSantis’ following with out affecting Trump’s campaign.
Honestly, I love Trump.. but.. it is apparently very hard to work for him, and many people that do eventually get sideways with him.
I would rather DeSantis stay in Florida where he is needed and continue to, like you said, build his national standing while staying on good terms with Trump.
