According to the Q1 2023 expenditure report of the Florida Republican Party, it seems like GOP Governor Ron DeSantis is taking steps to prepare for a possible presidential run. This news has been a cause for concern for Democrats, who fear that DeSantis’ popularity in the Republican Party could make him a formidable opponent in the 2024 presidential race.
DeSantis has been a vocal critic of President Joe Biden’s policies, particularly on issues such as immigration and education. He has also been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida, which has garnered him support from Republicans across the country.
Despite not announcing his presidential aspirations, DeSantis’ actions suggest that he may be positioning himself as a viable alternative to former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. Democrats will be closely watching DeSantis and other potential Republican candidates to determine who they will be facing in the next presidential election.
