Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' Iowa trip raises White House speculation

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Will he or won’t he run?

That continues to be the question as Florida’s governor departs for another out-of-state trip this weekend. Ron DeSantis is hitting Illinois Friday evening, then the key caucus state of Iowa on Saturday, only furthering speculation that a White House bid is right around the corner.

Wthout saying so, DeSantis is giving every indication that he’s getting ready for a bid. He hasn’t given a firm "no" when asked, and has a new book laying out his political platform.

Post-legislative session, Florida governor is in the air again, this time to Iowa, making two Saturday stops. He’ll appear at a state GOP fundraiser in Cedar Rapids and a cookout with Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa.

The official word is DeSantis is there to boost conservatives, not himself.

"What’s next for me is to go through this budget that they passed," DeSantis said on May 5 when asked about his political future.

Yet speculation over a White House run continues to grow, and DeSantis is now starting to lean in.

"I may have something to say about the overall landscape for ’24, but stay tuned on that," DeSantis said on Thursday.

Ready and waiting is super PAC Never Back Down.

"I’ve never seen anybody do the things he's doing and not get in," said Ken Cuccinelli, a former Trump official and founder of Never Back Down.

Trump lost in 2020 for several reasons:

That is where you veered off the road and went careening over the embankment.

While it’s easy to claim fraud as the reason for the 2020 defeat, no objective evidence has emerged to this day to support that allegation.

And here is where you begin showing signs of early Alzheimer's...

You are either woefully uninformed or pushing a CNN agenda.

You are confusing overwhelming evidence of fraud being presented with refusal of courts and legislators to take action on it.

There is no possibility of Trump or any other Republican winning the 2024 election because you cannot out vote fraud.

Everything that is currently unfolding in the public domain is is being allowed to happen in order to wake people up and prepare them not to lose their minds when some kind of intervention occurs between now and November 2024.

What’s going on now is the big reveal. Everyday new events are happening and the pace is picking up as we go along.

My point is the Democrat turnout machine can be overcome in the swing states by massive GOP support in the suburbs. Trump cannot deliver this.

Folks, please don't get gaslighted and fooled by the anti-Trump/desantis supporters with their magical thinking...

"Trump didn't lose because of election fraud."

"Even if there was election fraud, it only happened in some states."

"Trump is unlikeable and the left will ballot harvest and commit fraud against him."

"desantis is more likeable and can get the votes to win."

Really?....If desantis is the candidate, the left won't commit fraud against him?

Trump lost the 3 AM votes dumps..

Biden was Installed..

The sooner the Bush, Dole,Bush,McCain, Romney wing of the swamp party understand that, the sooner they might not wither as a party when MAGA says no Mas to any of their present or future non Trump Presidential timber..

But play the stupid game R team.

MAGA knows the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era when they see it..

It took a small break for Trump’s term.
Then right back to it with King Brandon’s installation.
