Trump should lobby to be Desantis' VP candidate. It's the only way he keeps his political career going.
Republican primary voters have high interest in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a potential 2024 presidential nominee and view him more favorably than they do former President Donald Trump, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows.
In a hypothetical contest between the two, Mr. DeSantis beats Mr. Trump, 52% to 38%, among likely GOP primary voters contemplating a race in which the first nomination votes will be cast in just over a year.
The poll found that Mr. DeSantis is both well-known and well-liked among Republicans who say they are likely to vote in a party primary or nominating contest, with 86% viewing the Florida governor favorably, compared with 74% who hold a favorable view of Mr. Trump. One in 10 likely GOP primary voters said they didn’t know enough about Mr. DeSantis to venture an opinion of him.
 
It would be perfect for trump. He could fly around and be a big shot, but not have to worry about the day to day duties of a president.

One-on-one may favor DeSantis, but I suspect DeSantis' backing will be much more eroded by all the additional primary candidates while Trump backers will remain loyal.
