@w7voa Perhaps I’m being naïve, but I think entry into the 2024 campaign means little. He doesn’t stand for anything that the rest of his family stands for. He’s an anomaly running on his family name and not all that successfully. Republicans might think he would be helpful, but I don’t believe he’s secure votes from moderates or progressives. And, he won’t excite GOP voters, so why bother?

If the complete reform of the Supreme Court isn’t the top item for the Democrats in 2024, it’s pretty much worthless. Every issue - gun control, voting rights, environmental protection, equal justice under law, women’s health rights - everything has been set back by the doctrinaire, radical right, corrupt SCOTUS.

And of course there were DeSantis' famous stunts where he sent undocumented immigrants by plane to Martha’s Vineyard and Los Angeles to troll the libs.

So this will be the heart of DeSantis’s campaign, although presumably LGBTQ people and librarians and abortion-seekers will all have their day
