He does not owe DeSantis loyalty, he owes Trump loyalty
He did not say he might run against TRUMP. He said he might run against DeSantis.

So, again, how does he owe any loyalty to DeSantis?

How would running against DeSantis be disloyal to Trump? If DeSantis decides to run for President in 2024 he will most probably b ly be running against Trump....

So again, I don't see how running against DeSantis would be disloyal to DeSantis or Trump.

You are also insinuating that he would be a serious threat to DeSantis if he does run, which I do not believe at all....
