Gov. Ron DeSantis may be on the downhill slide with those willing to put money on upcoming elections.
That’s the sobering insight from one bookie tracking the currently hypothetical hopes of Florida’s Governor, who is widely touted as a potential 2024 presidential candidate and has been seen as a heavy favorite for reelection next year.
Recent challenges, warn betting aggregators US-Bookies.com, have presented drama for the Governor’s near-term political prospects.
“The odds still point to DeSantis being a heavy favorite, but they took a noticeable hit during a time in which the state of Florida has seen quite a few challenges, and many have been openly critical of the Governor,” a US-Bookies spokesperson said. “Billed as a rising star in the GOP, DeSantis also faces a difficult battle in the presidential election, as he’s behind Donald Trump in both presidential and Republican nomination markets.”
DeSantis is still the heavy favorite for reelection, with 1-3 odds. But Charlie Crist has seen his odds improve to 4-1, and Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried is now at 8-1.
Recent polling, meanwhile, shows DeSantis generally ahead of either potential Democratic nominee.
DeSantis has wrestled with a surge of COVID-19 that has stretched hospitals beyond their limit, and seen the administration square off against school boards that seek to require masks. His administration’s messaging has been geared toward a quasi-audition for the national right-wing media. While these moves would seem to thrill the base, they clearly are causing bettors to reappraise the man called “America’s Governor” by supporters.
DeSantis is also dropping on the list of 2024 candidates. He’s given just an 18% chance of getting the Republican nomination, and just a 10.1% chance of being elected President.
The aggregators aren’t even contemplating action on who DeSantis’ 2024 running mate might be, though the Governor is the most favored of four potential running mates for former President Donald Trump.
“Though DeSantis’ chances at winning the next presidential election aren’t strong at the moment, it does seem like he’ll be the most likely pick as Trump’s running mate,” a US-Bookies spokesperson said. “With 14-1 odds, a Trump-DeSantis is currently the most likely Republican ticket we’ll see in 2021.”

As a sizeable portion of boomers stop voting due to death or senility, the fate of the United States floats precariously. This has been the targeted effects of public school, song lyrics, and drug pushing by Anti- social forces. The whole world will not be enough pleasure for Anti- social elites. Kill, steal, and destroy will be the usual artistic endeavors of the elite. Deprogramming millennials is the hardest and direst nut to crack. I don’t think it can be done without video, song, and tent cities; Freedom of mind, a stronger desire for truth.

A message to the GOP:
PLEASE nominate the Twice-Impeached LOSER. Democrats will thank you, America will thank you. Trump loses to any Democrat in 2024, any Democrat.
Pence is the only real Republican who can beat Trump.

Name those Democrats who can beat Trump in 2024? Trump roasted Biden here in FL in 2020. Democrats have no chance in 2024. Plus Democrats are gonna lose big a RED wave coming in 2022.

To educate you a little, Matt Gaetz will not be the Republican candidate in 2022. Wait until FL-1 hears the details of his perverted escapades that will be revealed soon enough.
And Pence will beat Trump like a drum for the nomination. Trump is a phony and a loser. Real Republicans know it.
