Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has become a favorite of conservatives and Republicans. If former President Donald Trump decides not to seek public office, many right-wingers would like to see him run for the country’s top office in 2024. In fact, many people speculate that DeSantis is fighting for the White House campaign. But recently, the governor seems to have turned a deaf ear to predictions about the presidential campaign.
Fox News According to reports, on Tuesday, DeSantis “eliminated the rumors that he might run for president in 2024” and called these rumors “purely fabricated.”
At the press conference, DeSantis said: “I just do my job, we work hard… I heard all these things, and honestly, this is nonsense.”
Fox News observed:
DeSantis’ comments on this issue came a few days before the headlines of the Nebraska event celebrating agriculture in Nebraska on September 12 with other potential 2024 candidates. . During the gathering, DeSantis will speak with former Vice President Mike Pence and Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. The event will also correspond to Governor Pete Ricketts’ annual steak and fries, which will be held in the Arbor Lodge Historical Park.
For his part, it was revealed that Trump will travel to Iowa for a rally in October. This will be his first return to the state since the 2020 election, which undoubtedly sparked speculation about whether he will run for the election again in 2024. As early as April, Trump stated that if he did decide, he would consider choosing DeSantis to run again as his running partner. “I support Ron, and after I support him, he takes off like a rocket ship,” he said. “He did a great job as governor.”
In June of this year, DeSantis defeated Trump in a match. Straw poll Held at the Western Conservative Summit. Among the 31 choices, the governor of Florida received 74% support, while Trump received 71% support.
If DeSantis does not decide to run for the election, it will definitely come as a surprise. In the past year, he seems to have positioned himself for such a run. His stubborn opposition to the COVID-19 order and the order to wear a mask made him a darling of the right. In fact, when it comes to today’s hot issues, he has always been one of the most important voices of the right wing.
DeSantis decided to ban wearing masks in the classroom. Although not so popular in Florida, he won the applause of many right-wingers. In addition, this caused him to be scorned by radical media and Democrats, who insisted that he put children’s lives at risk, which is another factor that promoted his popularity among conservatives.
The governor also enforced ban Teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) in a class in Florida. At the press conference, he stated that if the country had a “Hammouse” drama to ensure that Marxist indoctrination would not happen in the classroom, it would. He said:
“You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. …so what we are doing, the Department of Education, the Florida Board of Education are meeting and they are solving this problem. I told them they This problem needs to be solved. We have to do this…. Taxpayers are asked to fund critical racial theories, which is offensive. They will be asked to fund to teach their children to hate their country and hate each other.”
“If we have to play whack-a-moles throughout the state to stop this critical racial theory, we will do it.” pic.twitter.com/zV5dLzcDVb

DeSantis also strongly opposes large-scale scientific and technological censorship.Earlier this year, he signed a bill This will punish social media companies for suppressing voices due to political factions.
China is also a problem that DeSantis has always been good at. Like Trump, the governor has been a radical critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its operations on American soil.He signed legislation Aims to contain the CCP’s influence in Florida.
When talking about the culture war, DeSantis has become a prominent voice on the right. His outspoken speaking about CRT and COVID-19 restrictions and authorizations made him a rising star in the conservative movement, and it is hard to believe that this was not intentional.
Simply put, I don’t buy it.
DeSantis was only involved in the typical shy response of politicians when asked about seeking higher positions. They always deny this at first-especially when the next election is still far away. The only way for a governor not to run for president in 2024 is for Trump to declare his candidacy. Even so, it seems unlikely that Trump will not choose DeSantis as his running mate.
Of course, this does not guarantee that he will win the nomination. But obviously, he is the most popular, not only because of his position on the issue, but also because of his behavior. As I wrote before, many people admit that DeSantis has most of Trump’s advantages, but no weaknesses.
DeSantis adopted the attitude towards left-wing radical media that made Trump so popular on the right. He did not back down, screaming for the dishonest reports that prevail in the American media environment today.When the exit is like this, the governor becomes particularly aggressive CBS or CNN Publish blatantly deceptive reports about his government.
The prospect of the Republican presidential candidate has not yet formed. If Trump decides not to participate in the election, then several people may join the election. But no matter what the field looks like, DeSantis will be the leader.
