If DeSantis runs in 2024, I predict some woman will suddenly appear to accuse him of harassment 20 years ago.

If for no other reason that those attributes being corrected to being representative of "the population" rather than likely or registered voters.

Why should anyone be Terrified of DeSantis? DeSantis barely defeated a flawed candidate in a Florida state election for Governor.

DeSantis puts himself first, the interests of the people second. Always.
So

That's your opinion. First, you don't know what goes on in another person's mind, so you're just guessing that DeSantis puts himself first and the interests of the people second. So many disagree with you and they're flocking to FL because of it.
Second, FL has the highest population of people over 65 in the nation which stands to reason that Covid deaths would be increased.
Third, DeSantis was out there protecting civil rights and speaking out against the draconian authoritarian mob rule of mandates that don't work.

Your governor mandated and ruled CA population, and insulted them all by not following his own rules. He's a hypocrite.

Florida did it right.

That running average is just over the past 7 days. DeSantis has been governor for a lot longer than just the past 7 days.

For those who need to see DeSantis bio and credentials, here you go, and I hope everyone reads this. This is what I want in my next President:

****************************************

Forty-sixth governor
January 8, 2019 to present

A native Floridian with blue-collar roots, Ron DeSantis worked his way through Yale University, where he graduated with honors and was the captain of the varsity baseball team. He also graduated with honors from Harvard Law School. While at Harvard, he earned a commission in the U.S. Navy as a JAG officer. During his active-duty service, he supported operations at the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and deployed to Iraq as an adviser to a U.S. Navy SEAL commander in support of the SEAL mission in Fallujah, Ramadi and the rest of Al Anbar province. His military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service and the Iraq Campaign Medal.

After active-duty service, Ron DeSantis served as a federal prosecutor, where he targeted and convicted child predators. He still serves in the U.S. Navy Reserve. He was first elected to Congress in 2012, as the U.S. Representative for Florida’s Sixth District, where he fought for term limits, the No Budget/No Pay Act, and to cut taxes. While serving in Congress, he refused his Congressional pension and health insurance plan because he is against special deals for politicians. He also sponsored legislation to make it easier for the military to prosecute sexual assault and authored the bill to end the secret taxpayer-funded slush fund for members of Congress to make hush payoffs for sexual harassment.

Governor DeSantis is married to Casey DeSantis, an Emmy Award-winning television host. Together, they are the proud parents of their daughter, Madison, and their son, Mason.

Now you've gone and done it... the dems hate him more, because a person with an impeccable resume is like a political nuclear bomb blowing up in their collective marxist faces.

I think Ron is playing the smart game by running and campaigning for reelection for Governor of Florida in the November elections, while the drama over Trump plays out on the national stage. Let Georgia and other states take the heat for pro-Trump candidates that the liberals will be targeting.

DeSantis cruises for an easy win and then take stock on what 2024 looks like. He'll make his move IF he think it's time. The man's only 43 - he's got time on his side.

But I tell you this - I cannot WAIT for this man to be President of the United States someday. He'll rock this country back to greatness so fast that the liberal's heads will be a-spinning.

In the meantime, I'll watch DeSantis serve as the most awesome governor of the most awesome state.
