The Republican never-Trumpers’ hoped-for candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination implied he will serve his full four-year gubernatorial term.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) wiped out the opposition with a nearly 20 percent margin of victory to earn reelection to his office. In addition, the GOP now has super-majorities in both state legislative bodies. He reportedly said his election win was a vindication for the next four years.
The Daily Wire further reported:
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis hinted Thursday at a potential timeline for when he may announce a 2024 presidential campaign, should he decide to run.
DeSantis made the remarks during a Fox News appearance on “America’s Newsroom” about his new book and what future political plans he has.
When asked about what former President Donald Trump’s endorsement means in the current political environment, DeSantis responded that “at that time when he was president, his [endorsement] was the big enchilada.”
“I think our voters always make their own decisions,” DeSantis said. “Our voters want to look at you and size you up. And they take this responsibility very, very seriously.”
When asked about the “Make America Florida” chapter in his book and what his timeline is for making a decision about running in 2024, DeSantis pointed to first delivering results for the millions of Floridians who have given Republicans in the state historic levels of power with supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature.
“So we’re going to have a three month run here where I think we’re going to be able to deliver more than we’ve already delivered,” DeSantis said. “And we’ve delivered more than just about anyone. And I think that that’s going to be something that — you win the election, it’s vindication for the four years.”
“So that’s going to be my focus, then when we get on the other side of that, assuming we’ve been successful, we’ll take a look at what that would mean for national,” he added.
