The more serious question is whether DeSantis can overcome Rat electoral fraud in 2024.
That is the billion dollar question.
Assuming he gets the nomination, he has to convince millions of Trump supporters (assuming DJT does not have a natural cause incident or voluntarily takes himself out of the race) to show up and vote for him. That plus the rigging/fraud will keep him out of the WH.
That aside, even being out of the WH, he can still get framed by the deep state .... ask the former IL gubnar Blago.
