If he’s running, why not go to the microphones and just say so? Or if he’s backing Trump, why not say so?
Seems like a stupid little game to me.
desantis was just sworn in for his second term 3 weeks ago...
desantis released a statement 2 weeks ago instructing people not to donate any money to any organization that claims he’s running for president in 2024...
why would he back trump after trump acts like a spoiled brat and calls him names?...
he’s letting trump be trump while maintaining a professional attitude and doing his job of making florida great again... 😎
Florida has a "Resign to Run" law on the books which means that DeSantis would have to resign his position as governor to run for president. The law has been lifted and reinstated several times, most recently in 2018 (where it was conveniently amended to include federal offices. Previously, the law only targeted state offices). Republican leaders in Florida's GOP-dominated Legislature have expressed interest in changing or rescinding the law, a move DeSantis will support.
Florida's legislature doesn't meet until March and then typically wraps up the legislative season in May.
Look for a change to this law later this spring after which point, DeSantis is widely expected to toss his hat into the ring.
Until then, all he can really do is "look like" a man who is planning on running without officially doing so (the main reason why DeSantis has warned people against donated to "Ron for President" organizations. There aren't currently any legitimate ones).
