==Possible 2024 Presidential Campaign==

==Possible 2024 Presidential Campaign==

DeSantis is widely seen as a prospective candidate for the [https://www.conservapedia.com/United_States_presidential_election,_2024 2024 presidential election]. This has led to behind-the-scenes tensions between him and former President [[Donald_Trump|Donald Trump]], which soon may become more public.

DeSantis is seen by many mainstream conservatives as a potential candidate for the [[United States presidential election, 2024|2024 presidential election]]. This has allegedly led to behind-the-scenes tensions between him and [[President Trump]], though this is probably just a claim fueled by the MSM in an effort to drive division between the two. Some have stated that DeSantis would be the [[Establishment]] choice for 2024, as he poses less of a threat to the system than President Trump, and his governance as president would likely be that of another generic Republican.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrFzdHbvCpw</ref>

In November 2021, Trump confidante Roger Stone publicly accused DeSantis of political posturing to set up a possible run in 2024, and threatened to sabotage DeSantis' re-election campaign by running as a third-party candidate unless DeSantis changed his behavior and pledged not to run if Trump does.[https://www.businessinsider.com/roger-stone-run-governor-desantis-pledges-not-to-run-president-2021-11][https://t.me/RogerStoneJr/1470] DeSantis did not take this threat well, and responded by mocking Stone's status as a convicted felon despite evidence that Stone's prosecution was the result of a [[Deep_State|Deep State]] smear campaign and the fact that he had been pardoned by Trump. Those remarks were supposedly made behind closed doors, as DeSantis probably knew that making them public would potentially end his political career. Stone in turn responded by demanding that DeSantis apologize for those remarks.[https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2021/11/10/stone-desantis-owes-me-an-apology-495042] As of January 2022, DeSantis had not issued such an apology. It should also be noted that Stone is against a DeSantis candidacy regardless of whether Trump runs; he has stated that [[Michael_T._Flynn|General Michael Flynn]] should be Trump's successor as leader of the MAGA movement should Trump sit out.[https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/2021/11/roger-stone-reveals-who-he-would-draft-to-run-for-president-if-donald-trump-doesnt-run-in-2024]

In November 2021, former Trump campaign advisor and [[lobbyist]] [[Roger Stone]] publicly accused DeSantis of political posturing to set up a possible run in 2024, and threatened to sabotage DeSantis' gubernatorial re-election campaign by running as a third-party candidate for Florida governor unless DeSantis pledged not to run against Trump.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/roger-stone-run-governor-desantis-pledges-not-to-run-president-2021-11</ref><ref>https://t.me/RogerStoneJr/1470</ref> DeSantis supposedly privately mocking Stone's status as a convicted felon, despite evidence that Stone's prosecution was the result of a [[Deep State]] smear campaign and the fact that he had been pardoned by Trump.

Stone also insulted DeSantis, calling him a "Yale Harvard fat boy" who "can't get out of his own way" and slanderously accused DeSantis having an affair with former [[Newsmax]] reporter Emerald Robinson while he had been out of the public eye, despite the fact that DeSantis had been helping his wife Casey during her struggle with breast cancer during that time.<ref>https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/roger-stone-calls-ron-desantis-yale-harvard-fat-boy-after-reports-of-rift-between-florida-gov-donald-trump-30657050</ref>

In January 2021, DeSantis appears to be on the edge of a public feud with Trump himself, after first Trump implicitly called DeSantis "gutless" for refusing to reveal whether or not he received a vaccine booster, and then DeSantis stated that one of his "biggest regrets" as governor was not speaking up more against Trump's early COVID policies, which were strongly influenced by the advice of people like Anthony Fauci.[https://www.marketwatch.com/story/desantis-viewed-as-target-of-trump-remark-about-gutless-politicians-not-admitting-to-receiving-booster-shots-01642031351][https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1481355199121960971][https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/01/14/desantis-says-he-regrets-not-opposing-trump-administrations-lockdown-calls-as-tensions-grow-with-ex-president/?sh=c8d7c2a46c20][https://ruthlesspodcast.com/episodes/ron-desantis-gets-ruthless]

In January 2022, more rumors of tensions between Trump and DeSantis were spread after Trump called Republican politicians "gutless" for refusing to reveal whether or not they received a vaccine booster, a remark many perceived to be directed at DeSantis<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/12/trump-calls-politicians-who-refuse-to-say-they-received-covid-boosters-gutless.html</ref>.
