Gov. Ron DeSantis left the presidential race after the first caucuses in Iowa this year. But in four years, he may run again, he said on the “Steve Deace Show” podcast.
“We’ll see what the future holds,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis said he viewed this year as “really a hinge point in American history and if we don’t get it right, you know, I don’t know what it’s going to look like in the future. So who knows?”
“When I was in Iowa, a lot of these folks that stuck with the President were very supportive of what I’ve done in Florida. They thought I was a good candidate,” DeSantis said. “I even had people say they think that I would even do better as President, but they felt that they owed (Donald) Trump another shot. And so I think we really made a strong impression.”
The Governor believes he’s “got a lot of support” going forward.
“Most of the people that supported me, whether activists, whether volunteers, whether fundraisers, you know, they’re all on board, you know, for what the future holds. So we’ll be active,” DeSantis promised.
“We’ll be exercising leadership down here in Florida and holding down the fort for freedom. And so we’ll see what the future holds. But I hope we can get a good result in 2024 because if we don’t, it’s going to be tough sledding for this country.”
If the “Left” is “unimpeded,” meanwhile, DeSantis said the country will “need states like Iowa and Florida to be the refuge.”

Go and find gainful employment in the private sector for a change of pace.
DeSantis will NEVER win a National Election!
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

Hi Nikki Fried. I know it is personal with you as you could never get the best of DeSantis. Talk about someone that will never win a National Election. You couldn’t even beat Charlie Crist for the Demo nomination for Governor. Remember Ronald Reagan didn’t win the first time he ran as well. DeSantis will be back.

Nikki Fried? WTF does she have to do with anything? Your dementia is starting to show. Bad enough we have Biden and Trump to contend with now the commenters are losing the plot as well.

This year is a hinge year in America, yes it sure is. Yet you felt you owed it to Donald Trump. He may not be guilty of all the crimes he is charged with, but he is certainly guilty of some of them. He’s a sinner like the rest of us. Remember that scowling, pouty face he gives in the courtroom? This is what you all want representing the USA? Ron DeSantis spoke specifics, Trump, platitudes, promising everything but will he deliver? He didn’t the last time, did he? Not completely. Four more years of Biden or Trump will mean disaster for this country, especially for the Constitution. Trump has promised to suspend the US Constitution for awhile. How long is ‘awhile’? Biden is no friend of the Constitution either with his plentiful use of Executive Orders. We need to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. There is still time.🇺🇸🤠

PS. The President does take an oath to “protect and defend the Constitution ” just so he can grab power? That’s illegal. That’s treason. But by then it will be too late.😠🚑🇺🇸

What if her moniker means this is her comment, as in Nebraska Granny’s comment or take on the issue. An apostrophe would be correct for the possessive form. And the plural of Granny is grannies, so she’s probably not attempting the plural.
I think she is correct on the grammar and delusional in her belief that Biden is as big a threat to the Constitution as Trump. That’s nuttier than my Granny’s fruitcake.

Baby I’m fine. We were eating at Denny’s last night when your dad just got up and left me there. They found him at that park he’s not allowed to go to anymore because of that incident, well all of those incidents, really. Anyway he’s back home with me with his ankle monitor on. Hope you visit soon! I don’t think he’s got much time left on the outside again. You can only violate parole so many times.

He’s spewing his same old freedom garbage. What he actually does is takes away freedoms and he literally kills Floridians with his policies. He is a sick nut who will cast three more years of ruin upon the Sunshine State.

92K Floridians died of COVId, thus far, and except for the beginning of the vaccination campaign, when Dee urged seniors to get the shot, Dee has undercut the scientific consensus about the importance of getting vaccinated — if not for themselves, for their grandparents and elderly neighbors. (MAGAmites comprise a preponderance of deaths. So, caveat emptor!)

Yup! Hospitals had refrigerated trucks outside because morgues couldn’t process the dead bodies quick enough. And there’s Tiny D discouraging people from taking the vaccine and employing basic common sense antiseptic measures. His actions caused many preventable deaths.

Dee even has another Harvard guy on staff, a medical doctor, to help him carry this load of lies about vaccinations.

Yeah, the “woman on woman” part wasn’t “gay,” it was “a 3 way.”
Just like when folks in prison say the things they do to each other are not gay. It’s just prison!
I wonder if books about FFM 3 ways are allowed in elementary schools? And what about FMM 3 days? FMMs feel a little gayer.

First off, Desantis don’t completely rule out 2024 because something bad could happen to Trump and you are essentially Trump with more likability. But yes, you are the current heir apparent for the 2028 Republican Primaries. The Republican party has a deep history of nominating the runner-up in the previous primaries. Desantis, you were the number two when you dropped out. There is no huge gulf between the policies of Trump and Desantis. Desantis is still young and ingrained in the current Zeitgeist of the Republican voters. If Republicans weren’t focused on vindicating Trump for wrongful indictments, you might actually be the candidate now.

DeSantis has terrible policies that are hard on people.
And that really weird grimace that is supposed to pass for a smile. He is waaayyyy out of touch, and if that’s the best the GOP has, they will continue the long decline.
