Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis planning another White House run: Report

Sources said DeSantis has begun campaign outreach and fundraising as he seeks to capitalize on Florida’s Republican midterm gains and lessons from his 2024 run.

  • 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."

  • 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.
