He won't
He got squashed by RINO Trump supporters. People who don't care about Trumps actual record.
Imagine a veteran with a record of vetoing huge amounts of spending, cutting AND eliminating taxes and still came in way under budget. Who increased his party's majority. Who kicked the lgbt-tranny agenda out of public schools. Fired woke prosecutors and is tough on crime. Who banned the Chinese government from buying land in FL. Who did all these great things, getting beaten by someone who really didn't accomplish anything. Assaulting our 2A should've gotten Trump ousted. His $8 trillion spending spree should've. There's a 100 things that should put Trump at the bottom of the polling.
He's pro life. But FL still allows for abortions. They just have to do it before the baby has a heartbeat. Or they can simply go to GA or some other state and kill their baby.
Disney picked a fight with the FL government, by dumping millions into attorneys and keeping the courts tied up over something the majority of parents in FL wanted. Parents didn't want their K thru 3rd graders subjected to the tranny & gay lifestyle. So DeSantis fired back at them to get them to stop tying up all this in court. He didn't put Disney out of business. He didn't ban them from his state.
The culture war was already there. There's an even bigger swath of FL voters who support DeSantis and what he's done in FL. And had so many Trump supporters realized Trumps actual record, I doubt they would've supported Trump near as much.
Example: Most Trump voters don't know that Trump tried to get blacks $500 Billion (with a B) in reparations with his "Platinum Plan." They don't know he dropped more bombs and drones than Obama. They don't realize that it only took Trump 4 years to spend almost as much as Obama spent in 8. And that he only vetoed 1 spending bill in 4 years. They pay closer attention to what Trump says, than what he actually did.
Again, the culture war isn't a major motivator for even republicans, let alone the rest of us. Abortion restrictions are NOT popular nationally. DeSantis picked a fight with Disney...and cost of his State thousand of jobs and billions in investment in exchange for.....absolutely nothing>
Nationally, that looks stupid, reactive, short sighted and petulant.
Trying to get Ohmar deported looks petty and small.
Going after trans kids isn't something that motivates anyone.
Even republicans didn't want him. He came off as emotionally volatile, easy to bait, awkward, insincere, petty, small, vindictive, and singularly focused on punching down in a way that no one seems to want.
Not even republicans. To say nothing of moderates or liberals.
