DeSantis descending?
DeSantis descending?
4/20/2023
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis seems to be learning what it is to be even an “almost” candidate for President.
His poll numbers are falling; immediately after meeting with GOP congressmen in Washington, another Florida House member endorsed Trump. DeSantis had asked folks to hold off endorsements until he’s in the race. And it’s not a good look when elected Republicans from your own state endorse your opponent.
A few of the other challenges DeSantis has at the moment:
- Donald Trump
- Key items in the agenda he is passing through his legislature are opposed by a majority of Americans (abortion, gun control, iron hand over teachers, among others).
Anything, of course, can happen before the primary season begins but for the guy who was predicted to knock off Trump for the nomination, DeSantis isn’t looking too good.
And, that’s against a guy who is the first ex-president to be indicted and arrested; this month is facing a civil trial in which he’s accused of rape; and who just saw Fox, which was a key reason his message got out, settled (lost) a defamation suit over its on-air personalities repeating Trump’s lies about a fixed election.
DeSantis, who is trying his hardest to make “woke” a word that will carry him to the White House, in recent weeks widened his war…
