Gov. Ron DeSantis reached into pop culture to again float the First Lady’s run for Governor.
“You’re saying there’s a chance,” DeSantis said, loosely quoting a line from the 1990s comedy “Dumb and Dumber,” in which Jim Carrey’s character says “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” to a woman saying there’s a “one in a million” chance they could date.
We can assume that Casey DeSantis’ chances of running for Governor exceed that infinitesimal number, of course.
The Governor was extolling the virtues of “Hope Florida” as time ran out on the segment. Interviewer Dana Loesch pressed him on whether Casey DeSantis runs, prompting the coy answer from the Governor.
The First Lady has been cryptic as well.
In March, 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.”
“To quote the late Yogi Berra,” the First Lady said when asked if in February she was running, “if you see a fork in the road, take it.”
Byron Donalds is already in the race, meanwhile.
The Naples Congressman is endorsed by President Donald Trump, and both he and wife Erika Donalds have been compelled to address the Casey DeSantis question.
Erika Donalds said she has “teased a run,” while the candidate himself hasn’t been quite so direct.
He says there’s a “pretty good” chance Ron DeSantis endorses him, but the “next couple of months” will tell the tale.

I met DeSantis at the Jefferson Casino in Iowa and asked, “Pasco teachers in Tampa pay $1,994 monthly to insure their families with Florida Blue PPO. If you’re President, will Iowa teachers suffer like Florida teachers?” DeSantis said he didn’t negotiate that contract. DeSantis ran for President and didn’t say Obamacare one time in Iowa! On 1/1/25, Pasco schools raised their rates by 25% to $2,563 monthly, and DeSantis and the media were silent.
An Orlando Child on Obamacare’s Blue Option costs increased 20% on 1/1/25 from $406 monthly to $477 with a $9,200 deductible; again, DeSantis and the media are silent. Allstate’s portable zero-deductible coverage in the Free and Open Market is $110 monthly with a three-year rate guarantee. Premiums can’t go up.
Rick Scott supports Obamacare’s Guaranteed Issue mandates by cosponsoring the Protect Act in 2019, and the media is silent. The Republican Senate has switched sides and now supports Obamacare like DeSantis. The Republican-controlled Senate saved Obamacare in 2017.

You mean the late Senator from Arizona, John McCain, cast the tie-breaking vote?
