DeSantis weighs another presidential run for 2028

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is preparing for another presidential campaign in the 2028 election, according to sources cited by the Washington Post. His supporters point to Florida's resilience against Democratic gains in Tuesday's midterm elections as evidence of his viability. DeSantis has served two consecutive terms as Florida governor, with state law preventing a third consecutive term. The Republican Party's general midterm setbacks are seen as a rejection of the Trump movement, also weakening former Vice President JD Vance's standing as a potential 2028 frontrunner. In the 2024 Republican primary, DeSantis initially placed second behind Trump but withdrew in January to endorse him.
