The First Couple clearly isn’t ruling out a third term in the Governor’s Mansion, but they aren’t willing to commit to an unprecedented run either.
The looming drama over the Governor’s race is whether First Lady Casey DeSantis runs against Donald Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds in the 2026 Primary.
She sidestepped a direct question at the National Review Institute’s “Idea Summit,” extolling her husband as “the GOAT” and offering vague criticisms of other politicians she wouldn’t name as part of a “long-winded answer” that ended with “we’ll see.”
“All that he has done is extremely fragile. You could get somebody in and it could revert back,” she said of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
She also condemned politicians who “think about what’s next on the next political rung in their career.”
“The founders never thought that politics should ever have been a career, right? You were supposed to go up and serve, and you come home and you live under the laws that you pass. But it’s really changed,” said the wife of a man who ran for Senate while in Congress, and then ran for President immediately after being elected Governor a second time.
The Governor said that “leadership is going to continue to matter,” given that forces “in and around Tallahassee” don’t like a lot of what he’s done, and that as a result “the success in Florida is very, very fragile.”
“There’s a lot of people that don’t like what we’ve done on the Republican side. And there’s a lot of people that are just kind of waiting like, ‘we just got to get this guy out of here so that we can kind of go back to business.’ There is that sentiment out there,” he said.
“We’ve been the example that a lot of people, conservatives around the country, have pointed to. But I don’t think that this is on autopilot that’s going to continue in this direction.”.
Later in the interview, he promised that Casey, were she Governor, would “be more conservative” than him.

Yet you would vote for Michelle Obama for President? I’m sure Oprah and The View would be all over that. Identity Politics 101.

Michelle Obama will be remembered as a person who did not bow down to Master MAGA and excoriated him when given the opportunity.
Let’s see how well this works for Mrs. Dee. (Too bad Limbaugh isn’t around to raise her hopes.)
As for identity politics — apparently Peachy (who stalks Joy Behar) is averting his gaze from the numerous photos of King MAGA with his nearly all-white, all-male cabinet.

Again MH is all about identity politics. She obviously voted for the DEI word salad, Willie’s girl toy candidate who was highly unqualified and really just dumb. Michelle is much smarter but again has never run for office, but she’s black. That’s how MH votes.

I try to vote for the candidate, but after living in Florida most of my life, the only Republicans I have voted for have been in races against other, worse GOPers.
I have supported Black Democrats; no Black MAGAs exist that are worthy of my vote because like white MAGAs, they are enslaved — by their own volition — to Putin’s Poodle.
“Identity politics” is a MAGA/Fox DEI partisan mantra. Yet the MAGA litmus test, which requires craven surrender to one man’s predilections, is okay with you. Could it be because wealthy white men get the nod most of the time? Look at Trump’s Cabinet and advisers.
You raised the subject of Mrs. Obama and then proceeded to criticiz her, a highly educated and accomplished Black woman, which has become a predictable element of your posts.

Casey DeSantis would make a great Governor. This isn’t about them, this s about preserving an authentic conservative EOG. One which fights for fiscal restraint and is indefatigable on moral issues.

Fragile because Dee is skating on thin ice, imagining that he can never take a fall.

Casey ’26! Another historic DeSantis landslide will allow the Sunshine State to continue as the free state of Florida.
