Other possible GOP contenders to come in behind the Florida governor and former president include Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
The Western Conservative Summit poll shows that the popularity of Governor DeSantis remains on the rise. In previous 2024 contender surveys, DeSantis trailed behind Trump; however, this latest poll is the very first time the Florida governor has beaten out the former president.
DeSantis 2024?
Days ago, DeSantis responded to questions about a possible 2024 presidential run, either as a VP on Trump’s ticket or on a ticket of his own. The Florida governor made clear that at this time, taking care of business in his state is where his focus lies. DeSantis also confirmed that he has not engaged in any talks about a 2024 presidential run so far.
As evidenced by the findings from the Western Conservative Summit, many Republican voters believe DeSantis would make a formidable presidential candidate. The Florida governor continues to rake in massive political clout due to his leadership in the Sunshine State and pushback against intrusive government edicts.
