Ron DeSantis, a Republican governor of Florida, has decided against competing as Donald Trump’s running partner in 2024.
Candidate for president DeSantis made it clear in a Fox News interview that he has no interest in serving as Trump’s running mate. DeSantis would reject the opportunity even if Trump wins the GOP nomination and it was offered to him.
Bartiromo enquired: “If President Trump came to you and said let’s partner up, you be my VP would you do it?”
DeSantis said, “No, I’m running for president.”
“We need somebody that can serve two terms. We need somebody who can win states like Georgia and Arizona, which President Trump cannot do or did not do, even though candidates like McCain and Romney had no problem winning those states. We need somebody who, and I’m the only one running including Donald Trump, everything I’ve promised the voters that I would do as governor of Florida, I’ve delivered on,” DeSantis said.
He added, “We delivered budget surpluses, paying down debt, tax cut, school choice, parents’ rights, banning sanctuary cities, expanding Second Amendment rights. All and all down the line I promised and I delivered. And that’s really what we need because the country is in decline.”
DeSantis, who is behind Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, has chosen an unexpected choice. He has consented to have a discussion with a Democrat who is not even running for president. Many political specialists are perplexed by this sudden action.
A highly anticipated discussion between DeSantis and Newsom will air on Fox News! In November, don’t miss it when they square off for 90 minutes. In an exciting, secret location in Georgia, and hosted by Fox News. For all the excitement, tune in during Sean Hannity’s time slot!
“I look forward to the opportunity to debate Gavin Newsom over our very different visions for the future of our country,” DeSantis used the X platform to write.
“The contrast of California’s failures to Florida’s success demonstrates that Ron DeSantis is right: decline is merely a choice,” said Andrew Romeo, a spokesperson for the DeSantis campaign. “Whether Newsom or Biden is the Democrat nominee in ’24, they both offer the same failed and dangerous ideology for America that helped get us in this mess. We look forward to putting Ron DeSantis’ record of success up against it.”

The DeSantis campaign is still having trouble.
According to a new New Hampshire Institute of Politics survey, DeSantis is losing ground to Nikki Haley in the battle for the GOP presidential nomination.
Haley gets 15% of the vote, but “DeSantis slipped to third with 11%, 18 percentage points lower than what he polled in March, and just a point ahead of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie,” Newsmax reported.
“The boost to Haley comes at an opportune time, with the second GOP presidential primary debate set to take place Wednesday night in Simi Valley, California. Trump, who has a commanding lead in New Hampshire at 45%, will not be attending the debate,” Newsmax continued.
In North Carolina, DeSantis is having a hard time winning over voters. According to Florida Politics, only 13% of GOP voters favor him, while Trump has a commanding lead with 51% of the vote.
“Trump’s lead in North Carolina seems insurmountable. The four indictments of Trump seem to have little impact on North Carolina Primary voters and the efforts of his Republican challengers appear futile now,” David McLennan, director of the Meredith College Poll, stated.
Florida Politics added the following: “This polling is worse for DeSantis than polls released months ago.”
According to the Tampa Free Press, Trump continues to have a larger advantage in the most recent Morning Consult survey.
“Trump leads DeSantis by 46 points, the poll revealed,” said the report. “Trump’s support has jumped by nine points since December. On the other hand, over that same period, backing for DeSantis has plunged 17 points, from 30% to 13%.”
With 33% of GOP voters’ support, DeSantis continues to hold a commanding lead as the second-best candidate behind Trump. Vivek Ramaswamy, a businessman and fellow GOP presidential candidate, is in second place with 24 percent of the vote.
“Among the 10 declared Republican candidates, only former Vice President Mike Pence (42%) and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (51%) have higher unfavorable scores than DeSantis, according to the Morning Consult poll,” TFP reported.
I would love to see President Trump and VP Desantis for the next four years followed by Desantis as President and Trump as the VP. Bet they could, together get this country back on track!!!! Get rid of the egos and fight for America!!!
Because of his choice, DeSantis will never be President. Trump’s choice for VP will be President after President Trump. The only reason Trump lost Georgis & Arizona is because of the cheating in those 2 States as well as 4 other States by Democrats!
I agree! Desantis has nothing to worry about! Trump will NOT be asking him to serve as VP! He is not VP nor, presidential material!
