With Donald Trump battered , bruised and possibly fighting to stay from criminal covictions in at three places?
(Democrats pray for Trump to be the GOP nominee)
And?
Florida Republican Governor DeSantis beating Donald Trump in some early polls?
The Democrats and Biden handlers are turning to how take on DeSantis …..
Democrats are unfazed, even giddy about a possible 2024 rematch between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. But the prospect of facing upstart Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is prompting whispers of angst within Democratic circles.
While Biden advisers and allies haven’t yet settled on a strategy to thwart DeSantis, the White House hasn’t missed an opportunity to knock him in an effort to weaken him before he can announce a presidential bid, according to conversations with Biden advisers and Democratic strategists.
Democrats worry that DeSantis, who presides over a large, diverse and former swing state, could appeal to possible Biden voters, those who would otherwise lean Republican, but were repelled by Trump’s baggage, the advisers and strategists said.
Biden allies privately worry that DeSantis’s record could appeal to the same set of independent, female or suburban voters who Biden needs to court to win. Though many also argue DeSantis is not tested nationally and could fumble in the GOP primary, with voters or on the debate stage against other Republicans.
At 44, DeSantis offers a more energetic and youthful alternative to Trump, 76, and Biden, 80.
“Right off the bat, you’ve got such a contrast on age. It’s one thing for Biden to stand side by side with Trump, because Trump’s not actually that young. The age difference between Biden and DeSantis is very noticeable,” said Brad Coker, managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy, a consulting firm based in Jacksonville, Florida. …
Note….
I’ll add to the above thta in my view?
Ron DeSantis WILL have trouble selling his hardcore Florida policies to the country as a whole….
If Biden and Democrats run against DeSantis policies they will gain votes….
On top of ALL the above?
If DeSantis was to win the Republican nomination?
What would Donald Trump do?
(Convention bums rush like the Capitol in 2021? )
Spurned?
Would he go after DeSantis and help Biden keep his job?
