In the event that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis chooses to run for the White House, he has the strongest chance of winning the GOP nomination amid ousting Trump in the process. Multiple polls have demonstrated this. DeSantis is the one and only possible contender shown beating Trump in a series of different surveys. No other Republican who is projected to enter the 2024 race has bested Trump in any of the polls. At this point, however, the million-dollar question deals with whether or not DeSantis is going to run. Trump certainly seems to think the Florida governor will run and pose a threat against him. DeSantis has found himself consistently dismissing attacks from Trump. Meanwhile, other Republicans are coming to the governor's defense and pushing back against the anti-DeSantis narratives being spewed by the former president. As all this transpired, though, reports indicate multiple GOP members believe DeSantis plans to run in the 2024 presidential election.

DeSantis 2024 confirmed?

For right now, the Florida governor himself is not on record to announce or confirm he will declare a 2024 presidential run. Nevertheless, Republicans with alleged familiarity regarding the situation claim DeSantis is inching towards getting in the race. These same unnamed Republicans also reportedly believe that if DeSantis does run, he will wait until around May before making any formal announcements. This is the same period in which the Florida state legislature will bring its regular session to a close. One GOP member even went as far as to say DeSantis is "a go" when it comes to running for president.

Excitement within the GOP for a possible DeSantis run

At this point, a handful of political PACs have emerged to promote and help DeSantis run for president. These PACs maintain that their work centers around ensuring the Florida governor has every tool and advantage at his disposal, should he decide to campaign. Meanwhile, advisers to DeSantis are reportedly seeking new hires and otherwise preparing for the governor to begin a national run later this year. One conservative with ties to DeSantis also believes with the current momentum behind him, the time to strike is now. Ultimately, Americans will have to continue to wait and see what ensues. Though if the latest reports are accurate, DeSantis may very well be a presidential candidate before 2024 arrives.
