Have you ever heard the saying...'Sht or get off the pot'? That's DeSantis. That's the 'coy' game he is playing.
Why does DeSantis have to commit one way or the other right now? It’s a long way to 2024, a lot can happen. Besides, DeSantis has a job to do. Best thing for him right now is to focus on that job, and see how things play out.
DeSantis can’t declare until after Florida’s GOP-controlled legislature repeals or modifies Florida’s “Resign to Run” law. They have already indicated they will tackle this when the legislative season convenes in March.
As the law currently stands, DeSantis would have to resign his position as governor before he files as a candidate with the FEC, something he’s not going to do.
