DeSantis has to have more political savvy than Trump and realize that endlessly pandering to his ultra loyal ultra conservative base in FL with all the culture war stuff isn't a slam dunk to beating Biden or whatever candidate he hands the baton off to, right? We will see what happens, but DeSantis seems way too into the idea of being the big fish in the Florida pond and flexing his muscles there rather than going head to head with Trump and then attempting to reclaim places like AZ, GA, PA, WI, and MI that Biden took back from the right in 2020.
The culture war crowd already loves DeSantis, but Trump is getting back on his faux-populist approach which could resonate with more independent voters than stuff like this. DeSantis is going to be 46 in 2024 and he has plenty of time to make a push for the WH, so I don't see why he wouldn't just let Trump and Biden politically and possible literally expire before making his move in 2028. Unless democrats move on to another candidate who beats Trump, 2028 is going to be an election without an incumbent to worry about. Well, Trump could declare for 2028 as logically as he would for 2024, but you know.
