Overview
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a podcast interview released Tuesday, answered “we’ll see” when Sean Hannity asked if he would run for president again.
- He said most of Donald Trump’s Iowa caucus voters would have backed him if Trump had stayed out, describing them as conservative voters who preferred him.
- His 2024 run collapsed after a 21.2% finish in Iowa, and analysts later blasted his nine‑figure spending as ineffective before he bowed out and endorsed Trump.
- Early 2028 polling puts him near 5% in New Hampshire and some national surveys, with Vice President JD Vance leading and Secretary of State Marco Rubio second.
- President Trump said he would consider DeSantis for a role in his administration after the governor leaves office in January 2027, a possibility that could influence DeSantis’s next move.
