All eyes are on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as Memorial Day approaches because The New York Times’ top political reporter expects him to make a presidential decision around that time.
In a tweet, Maggie Haberman sent a link to an article that she and Michael C. Bender co-wrote for The Times on Sunday. “DeSantis is said to be looking at a late May / early June entrance if he runs.”

Haberman observed that while it had joined the race rather late, it was surely not too far behind to be regarded as impractical.
As rumors mount that Governor DeSantis might be the Republican Party’s front-runner for the presidency in 2024, Governor DeSantis is drawing more attention. The Times examined how well DeSantis has responded to Donald Trump’s repeated critiques and what this could mean for his chances of winning a historic election.
Governor DeSantis demonstrated his shrewd diplomatic skills last week when he responded to the passionate criticism of President Trump. He skillfully struck a balance in his relations with the media between responding to questions and avoiding conflict.
DeSantis was questioned by a reporter on suggestions made by the previous president on social media that DeSantis had “behaved inappropriately with high school girls while he was a teacher in his early 20s.”
In spite of being provoked, Governor DeSantis maintained his resolve.
“I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden,” Instead, he reportedly remarked, according The Times. “That’s how I spend my time.
“I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans,” He continued, evoking memories of former president Ronald Reagan.
Reagan promoted conservatism within the Republican Party. He regularly used the “11th commandment,” which he defined as the prohibition against disparaging fellow Republicans. This insightful counsel underlines the need of maintaining comradeship and respect among members of all parties and continues to influence our political discourse today. “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”
Political observers wonder how long Trump and DeSantis can maintain the appearance of cordial friendship as they perhaps get ready to face off in the Republican primary. Trump looks to be preparing for such a confrontation already.
“It’s a really tough situation for DeSantis,” Barack Obama, who was then a senator, hired Democratic strategist Tommy Vietor in 2008, according to The Times. “If he starts punching at Trump, he’s going to anger a lot of the people he needs to vote for him.”
“[But] if you are viewed as weak and cower in response to attacks from Trump,” he added, “that will be seen as a proxy for how you will be seen as a Republican nominee and how you’ll be as president.”
According to a tweet from Haberman, Senator Tim Scott has indicated that he is getting ready to enter the presidential campaign. It seems that the Republican Senator from South Carolina will soon enter the national spotlight!
