DeSantis Denies Report On a 2028 Presidential Bid

DeSantis called the report false after sources said he had contacted consultants and his super PAC sent fundraising texts.

  • On Friday, three sources told The Washington Post that Ron DeSantis is preparing a 2028 presidential bid following Republican wins in the Sunshine State during Tuesday's midterm elections.
  • Florida's resistance to the national Democratic 'blue wave' gives DeSantis credibility in the 2028 primary, according to longtime Republican donor Dan Eberhart, who called the success a "big feather in DeSantis' cap."
  • Having lost the 2024 primary to President Donald Trump, DeSantis plans to enter the race earlier and increase media appearances, addressing tactical failures that allowed opponents to define him.
  • Calling the midterm results an "extinction-level event for Republicans in many parts of the country," DeSantis is positioning himself as a rare successful model within the struggling party framework.
  • While the Lone Star State once held the "crown jewel of Republican politics," DeSantis noted that Florida is now the only one of the 10 largest states with Republican control.
