Overview

  • DeSantis, asked by Sean Hannity in a podcast clip posted Monday, replied “We’ll see” when pressed on running for president again.
  • He also claimed he would have captured “like 90%” of Trump’s Iowa voters if Trump had not run, though in 2024 he finished at 21.2% and nine delegates after a costly effort.
  • He said he challenged Trump in 2024 because he thought legal cases made Trump unelectable, then endorsed him and later told Trump he had to walk that back after meeting in person.
  • A Saint Anselm College poll of New Hampshire primary voters released Monday shows JD Vance at 46% and Marco Rubio at 27%, with DeSantis tied for third at 5% alongside Nikki Haley.
  • He faces a tight timeline as his Florida term ends in January 2027 and a likely field led by Vance and Rubio, which could complicate donor support after his 2024 bid spent more than $130 million.
