we are now seeing another guy from florida make moves. ron desantis is reportedly telling people in his circle he is set on running. sources tell the washington post he is going to declare in may or june. desantis has 70 mill in the back left over from run for governor. and desantis super pacs are coming alive. i don t know how it could be more obvious but ron desantis is in iowa today. if you talk to floridians, there s no drama in our administration. there s no palace intrigue. they basically just sit back and say okay, what s the governor going to do next and we roll out and we execute and we do things and we get things done. and, in the process, we beat the left day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
