'What will Ron DeSantis do? If his underdog gubernatorial race in 2018 tells us anything, he’ll take the chance and run. After all, it’s the only way to win.' -Ron Faucheux
flubbing the midterm elections, put him in the driver’s seat. But now that the nomination is hitched to the wild uncertainties of indictments, some DeSantis supporters are questioning whether their man should enter the fray. If DeSantis runs now, they fear, he risks a yearlong bloodbath with Trump. A fight from which he may never recover. Moreover, DeSantis may not be able to beat Trump, especially since the New York indictment has fired up the Republican base.
The next presidential election may well be won by what prosecutors, judges, and jurors do, not by what politicians do. If Trump's New York case is dismissed before trial, that could lock up Trump’s nomination. Even if the case goes to trial and Trump is acquitted, it could secure his nomination."Vindicated again!" will be the MAGA rallying cry.History tells us that presidential prospects need to strike while the iron is hot.
Despite recent troubles, DeSantis remains popular among Republicans: He rated 73% favorable/13% unfavorable in the latest Economist-YouGov . If he waits four years, that popularity could fade. Furthermore, Trump could still be an obstacle, even if he’s not president or a candidate. DeSantis could also be upended by a new crop of Republican contenders, some of whom we don’t presently know.
