Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, had a clear position on the 2024 presidential election. He discussed the potential of being Donald Trump’s running mate if asked in an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
His response was clear-cut: “No, I’m running for president.”
Trump’s recent remarks regarding probable contenders for his Republican vice presidential nominee in 2024 were the inspiration for host Maria Bartiromo’s query.
The former president stated, Wednesday, when speaking in Detroit: “They’re all job candidates. They’ll do anything, secretary of something. They even say VP. I don’t know. Does anybody see any VP in the group? I don’t think so.”
DeSantis dismisses the concept of serving as vice president entirely and asserts brashly that Trump “lost” Georgia and Arizona. He stays silent on the topic of vote fraud in Maricopa and Fulton counties, which many party members believe influenced the outcome of the 2020 race.
DeSantis implicitly implied that by winning these states in prior elections, Republican candidates McCain and Romney fared better than Trump.
“We need somebody that can serve two terms. We need somebody that 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,” said DeSantis.
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 deliver. And that’s really what we need, because the country is in decline.”

The Trump family was alert to this audacious claim. “You won’t be asked,” was Donald Trump Jr.’s swift and curt reply.
WATCH:
DeSantis is now the official poster-frog of the swamp. The characteristic of a swamp frog….doesn’t mind living in pond scum and mucky water. Good habitat for swamp frogs….bad for people.
