Mark Penn, the author of this piece, is a self-described “ Democrat political strategist “.

Ron DeSantis is the darling of the Democrats and the neo-cons. When he runs in 2028, he needs to have these 2 groups as enemies, not supporters.

Mark Penn is a Democrat but relatively sane. He says he is afraid of Trump beating Biden, as if he doesn't think voter fraud will ensure a Democrat victory no matter what. Most Democrats seem to want Trump to be the nominee figuring that he is a sure loser.

I don't think DeSantis will be the nominee in 2028. Trump loyalists will still be mad at him for not immediately jumping on the Trump bandwagon once Trump announced he was running again.
