That would probably play well to the MAGA base in Florida, for a ~~2024~~ 2026 run for governor.

Nah, Florida is too important to the gop. Ron may seem like a complete imbecile, but he did a lot of hard work to win a lot of favour before his governor run. They basically gave him the governorship as a reward for backing out of a Senate run when Rubio failed out of his presidential bid.

If Gaetz is actually messing with the cohesiveness of the gop like it's being projected and they turn on him..... he's done. Like, thrown to the wolves, release the dirt done.

Oh it seems the next Gubernatorial election in FL is 2026, so DeSantis won't have to chose between his VP campaign and the Governorship in 2024. I thought he was going to have drop one and Gaetz was posturing to succeed him. But DeSantis is also term limited and can't run again in FL in 2026.

Desantis won’t be vp. He went against trump and trump is that petty

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah there is no I respect what you did for Trump, he's an egomaniac

Florida has limits on consecutive governorships. DeSantis can't run for governor in 2026 regardless

Which will probably turn into a 2028 run for the Oval Office
