→‎Probable 2024 Presidential Campaign

Line 105: Line 105:

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, 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. 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.<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2021/11/10/stone-desantis-owes-me-an-apology-495042</ref> As of January ~~2022~~, DeSantis had not issued such an apology. 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 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>. DeSantis also stated that one of his "biggest regrets" as governor was not speaking up more against Trump's early COVID lockdown policies, which were strongly influenced by the advice of people like Anthony Fauci.<ref>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</ref><ref>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]</ref><ref>https://ruthlesspodcast.com/episodes/ron-desantis-gets-ruthless</ref>
