When it comes to his next political move, Ron DeSantis isn’t signaling interest in anything.
The man who spent a good part of the first year of his second term running for President isn’t willing to tell national media what he wants to do when that second term ends at the end of next year.
“I’ve got enough challenges on my plate now. I mean, I think we have 23.5 million people here. We’ve got things happening all the time. I mean, the idea that I’m going to be worrying about things down the line. That’s just not how I roll. I’ve got to get the most out of my opportunity here to lead, and we’re putting up wins daily, and we’re going to continue to do that all through the end,” the Governor said Sunday night to Fox News‘ Brian Kilmeade.
DeSantis told supporters in early 2024 that he wasn’t ruling out another presidential run after dropping out of the GOP race following the Iowa Caucuses. Hence, the demurral of future plans is notable for its vagueness.
At the time of writing, DeSantis isn’t near first place in any 2028 polls, all of which show Vice President JD Vance as the favorite in the hypothetical field.
Complicating the picture further, operatives for President Donald Trump suggest they may oppose DeSantis making another run for the White House.
“Old Pudding Fingers (DeSantis) better hope Chris LaCivita and I are both dead to have any minute chance in ‘28,” remarked Tony Fabrizio this week.

“… OLD PUDDING FINGERS …”
C’mon Tony, this is strictly schoolyard. So very “Brooklyn”, so to speak. With your considerable abilities and experience, you can do better than this.
What would really be useful is for you to hold forth on POLICY. Surely, you hold an actual opinion or two of your own on what needs to be done?
Maybe you should run for office yourself, instead of ranting. We should all remember what Teddy Roosevelt said about the sweaty man in the arena.
See you at the Barricades, Bro.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT ON PETTY CRITICS:
The former Police Commissioner of the City of New York (including Brooklyn) knew a thing or two about small-minded critics:
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
—Theodore Roosevelt

TR also coined the term “muckrakers” for journalists and authors who followed the money during his era.
TR meant “muckraker” as a Biblical insult; instead it became a positive term for a public which wanted the Square Deal that TR had promised but didn’t deliver.

DeSantis future role:
1) FOX/NewsMax host
2) University President- he seems to like that one
3) Takes over at ICE for Tom Holman once he’s booted out
3) Move to Texas, run for governor- I’m on board for him departing FL ASAP
