Ron DeSantis literally does not have a choice. A lot of Republicans, both voters but more importantly other politicians have taken a stand by him like for example standing up to attack Donald Trump. If Ron DeSantis does not toss his hat into the presidential election like these people are all counting on then his political career is already over.
That said, I give it around a 50/50 that DeSantis will be destroyed in the presidential election. Not because he is a horrible politician (the Republicans seams to like incompetence and corruption), but because this primary is promising to be bloody and could very well destroy the careers of anyone who dares to enter, including Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

Much as I like Trump's many accomplishments, I think it is time for him to step aside for Ron DeSantis. He should give himself a year to solidify accomplishments. I think there should be some sort of MAGA Conclave (much like selecting the Pope) that refers a candidate and that the others, including Trump agree not to undermine, but instead, make it Iron sharpening Iron on policy. The media want feuds and pissing contests. Don't let them have any. DeSantis has Trump's virtues without his vices.

In my county, DeSantis won 75% of the popular vote! That is an old-fashioned ass whoopin'!
He can, if he wants. Democracy is dead in America, either way. If it comes down to him and Biden, I'd vote for DeSantis for sure, but if anyone who'd actually be good at the job runs, I'd rather vote for them. My choice isn't on this poll Option E: I don't care. So I'm just going to say "No."
No because the U. S. system at the national level is doomed and cannot be changed by an individual. It can only be changed if maybe 80% of the people decided it was important to do a major change in the entire way they live and relate to others so a change would happen from the bottom up. I don't see that happening anytime soon. His talents would be better kept in Florida.
Maybe in 2028 if the swamp needs more cleaning. All Republicans should focus on building strong local governments in their states and develop a local pool of leadership rather than waiting for the next big brand name to show up in Washington D. C.. A president is a savior in a corrupt swamp. Leaders can do much more for their people in their own states. We need more strong governors, not less.
I don't really like DeSantis or his policies, but he at least seems... y'know... sane. So I'd prefer him over Trump or a lot of what else the Republican Party is offering lately. Still, I'd probably choose someone from the Democratic party. I think Democrats can provide a better option than Biden, but it's too soon to really know who that is yet. Could probably give you a better answer in a year.
sure. apparently here on gag he's popular. But thats what I love about our coutnry is anyone can. We obvisouly have speed bumps to keep dumbasses off the ticket.
Like I think candidates need to pay a fee of 2500 bucks to get on the presidential ticket.Even though I would like to see Trump get the opportunity to finish what he started but I think Ron DeSantis is the future of the party.
He should. Trump is drugging Republicans down with his toxic rhetoric. DeSantis is much more "normal" on that issue. He would be a new start for USA.
Competent, better than Trump or Biden, but still not the small government advocate I would prefer.
Yes, AFTER Trump gets his rightful 2nd term. He should start out as Trump's VP!!
Yes, he should run for U. S. President
He's definitely running for president next year and has a very high chance winning the White House.
He has hinted now he won't run and wait until 2028 . It would be a slap in the face of Florida voters.
I think he would be a worthy candidate. Although I don't really lean to either party.
Not yet. We elected him to be our governor so he needs to focus on Florida right now
