A video of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis roaring with laughter has emerged, as the 2024 hopeful makes an apparent effort to loosen-up.
The video, which first aired on C-Span, shows the governor engaged in a conversation with a man at a classic car show in Iowa on May 13. When DeSantis asks: 'I saw that you have like a 1955 Porsche in there. That one's nice. How much is that worth?'
'Ugh, we won't even talk about that,' the man responds. DeSantis was clearly tickled by the remark, and flung his head back to give a hearty-open mouthed guffaw.
An image of DeSantis laughing with his mouth wide open during the same moment was also snapped by Wall Street Journal reporter John McCormick, who uploaded it to his Twitter account.
While many were quick to crack jokes, others pointed out the loosening up may be a targeted effort ahead of his all-but certain presidential bid. DeSantis is rumored to be making the announcement at an event in Miami next week, Bloomberg reported.
Adversaries have argued in the past that DeSantis - a current favorite in the Republican party - has an issue with 'grip and grin' politics which sees lawmakers get out and about to try and charm voters in person.

Frankly, he looks kind of silly laughing like that. It wasn’t that funny.
Good to see him hanging out with his kind of GOPe people;
The landed Iowa corn aristocracy growing fat on ethanol subsidies.
Looks like a complete cretin. So sad that he wants it that badly
Looks like he’s getting tased.
moronic article
why why he’s almost human
I just watched the video...He appears easily amused. And I noted he went from a hysterical belly laugh to serious all inside 3 seconds Seem a bit odd.

If I had more time, I'd photoshop everything out of the pic except DeSantis screaming, and then add a graphic in the image showing Trumps latest poll numbers.
Maybe tomorrow.
I still don’t believe DeSantis will run. The tea leaves and polls show a 40 pt deficit, and Trump voters are not going to leave the man. He will get bloodied and bruised and damage his 2028 chances. So I’m betting that he will choose not to run, though no doubt he is getting pressure to run by big money donors.
This should surprise nobody but we can expect the media to be relatively nice to RDS until his effort (if any) to replace Trump as candidate either succeed or fail. If they fail so be it from their point of view, if the efforts succeed then he will be the new target and no more Mr Nice Guy treatment.
I would prefer to see Trump as candidate but I do hope he will be more ruthless in his approach in some ways, his first go round was of course excellent in some ways and not so good in others, but where not so good, because of almost insurmountable problems we face.
I am not all that afraid of RDS being a closet globalist but at the same time I just don’t think this is his time, he should probably aim more for 2028.
Yup. Florida voters for him to be GOVERNOR. His term runs out in 2027, not 2024. Running for Prez early and not serving out his term as GOVERNOR sticks a finger in the eyes of his constituency. But maybe Iām wrong.
You nailed it! Associating with Rove and Ryan is like kryptonite to most of us. Furthermore, when he loses in 2024, heāll have the āloserā stigma.
It might have been embarrassment, since he was told asking how much the car was worth was not talked about.
How is that remark hilarious
He is better with the never lock down and the never big pharma billions, never groomer corporations voters also. He might be okay with the anti big government as well. RFKjr may have that one locked up.
Now that trump has come back it as a planned parenthood shrillā¦ RFKjr just made that make more sense than being locked down again.
That looks like a Howard Dean style gaffe.
That looks like a Howard Dean style gaffe.
Looks like he’s getting ‘serviced’.
Loosening up? No he is self deluded to be following as told by evil minded handlers. Loosening up soon to fall apart, like Yeb, Cruz, many others who establishment tried to force upon us.
God bless America and help us please to each repent and stop following idols of self, power, greed, pride, and of thinking others will fix what you gave each of us the power and ability to do in this great country You created .
