According to six sources. Name ‘em.
any role in Trumps administration is a dead end. Just ask Rick Perry.
He is better off not serving
“Axios”?
BS “news”.
“any role in Trumps administration is a dead end.”
Yes, I’m inclined to agree. DeSantis is doing just fine on his own, and closer association with Pres Trump could wind up being dangerous for DeSantis down the road.
M.R., Still at it, huh?
Begging? I highly doubt it. He can replace Kristi

That just sounds very odd...
Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz to replace Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Whoever is in this Administration with the non stop leaking is absolutely RIDICULOUS at this point. During Biden, NO ONE leaked to ANYONE because they knew to keep their traps shut

Yes and Yes!
I think highly of both men.
