Ron DeSantis for President 2024?

By

Chris Cillizza, over at CNN,   says the Florida Republican Governor who has to do a re-elect for his current day job has presented his first speech for the 2024 Presidential campaign….

This dog is running with DeSantis as the odds on favourite to be running against President Biden in 2024….

I could be wildly wrong…

But I feel Trump has too much quick sand to trapeze thru….

Legal and Political….

And as Cillizza points out….

DeSantis is working to keep himself promninate in the game…

And folks?

Donald Trump knows thin s and throw down against the Republican Governor any chance he can…..

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely being discussed as a potential 2024 candidate for Republicans — and he’s doing little to knock down that chatter. And, his state of the state speech on Tuesday gave us all a preview of how DeSantis would run if he runs.

“Florida has become the escape hatch for those chafing under authoritarian, arbitrary and seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions,” DeSantis said, adding that Florida was now “the freest state in these United States.”
DeSantis repeatedly touted his willingness to buck so-called conventional wisdom during his first term — particularly when it came to dealing with the spread of Covid-19 in his state. DeSantis made mention of his decision to re-open Florida schools fully in the fall of 2020.
“We were right and they were wrong,” DeSantis said, in what could easily double for a presidential campaign if/when he runs.
And, make no mistake: What DeSantis was doing in his speech was positioning himself for just such a run. Which feels like a natural next step from the first three years of DeSantis’ time as governor; he has used his position to not only differentiate himself on Covid-19 mandates (and masking) but play directly into the arms of the Donald Trump base of the party — on everything from “woke” culture in education to restrictive voting rights in the state.
Voters have taken notice. At CPAC’s annual 2021 gathering, two straw polls were conducted. The former President won the first straw poll. DeSantis won the second, Trump-less one. (DeSantis took 21% in the straw poll with Trump, the only candidate other than the former president to gain double-digit support.)…
…
(Worth noting: DeSantis, unlike others — such as former Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina — being mentioned as potential 2024 candidates, has not said he would stay out of the race if Trump won.)…
