any role in Trumps administration is a dead end. Just ask Rick Perry.

“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.

DeSantis has been the most competent Republican in the United States (not including the Presidency or even Marco Rubio). I would love to see him as the next USSC justice.

according to six sources briefed on the discussions. 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

If “they” don’t know it is the Secretary of War, then “they “ don’t know jack.

President Trump has told confidants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is "begging" for a job I don’t doubt that for a second. That Trump claimed it, to be clear.
