I saw something this morning that said De Santis will not run in 2024. It might be because of the dreaded JEB and Rove endorsements, the two kisses of death.
If he isn’t running, maybe that is why he is not at CPAC. The other reason, sounds crazy but look who we are dealing with, is that RDS isn’t running now and he and Ryan/Rove/FOX etc. are doing all this solely to smear Trump so (they hope) he loses in 2024. I think RDS, et al, want Biden (Dem) to win so RDS has a clear path in 2028 and to close the door on Trump/MAGA in 2024 for good. They may think that by 2028 with Trump out of the picture, they can fully annihilate the MAGA movement and the Establishment, Globalism arm will have no counter voice and then they can usher in their New World Order with Ron.
