Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won't discuss a possible run for the GOP presidential nomination, but his fundraising and upcoming book release likely represent a stealth campaign. Here's why he might be holding out.
But for anyone who looks, there are some obvious signs that he's preparing to run. He has an autobiography titleddue to be released early next year. The publisher's press release says it is the story of a governor who,"has fought—and won—battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world.
At a recent news conference, DeSantis said,"We really showed, I think, how it's done in the state of Florida," and went on to say he received the highest percentage of the vote for a GOP governor in the history of Florida. Actually, Florida's first Republican governor, Harrison Reed, was elected by a wider margin during the Reconstruction era.
Those policies have made him a regular on Fox News, boosting his name recognition among Republican voters nationally. Some recent polls show him more popular with Republicans than Donald Trump. Trump, who's already announced he's running, has noticed. He's said it would be a"mistake" for DeSantis to enter the race. He's already tried out an attack line, labeling him Ron"DeSanctimonious.
