Donald Trump is still waging his hopeless fight to win the last White House race. But his possible heir apparent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, already seems to be trying to triumph in the next one.
The former President's increasingly fantastical obsession with an election that he lost shows his determination to pin the Republican Party's future on a personal quest for vengeance that would restore his tarnished self-image as a winner. But DeSantis is directly engaging President Joe Biden, who plans to run for reelection, on multiple fronts that send an electric political charge through the GOP base.
Cillizza: Ron DeSantis just positioned himself for a White House run 04:39Sure, the 2024 election is still a ways away, and the rightward march of the GOP risks damaging all of its candidates with a broader electorate. And Trump still appears to have the next Republican primary by a stranglehold. The noncommittal responses from Republican senators asked whether they'd back him in 2024 after his vow to pardon Capitol insurrectionists was proof of that.
Trump takes shot at 'gutless' politicians after this DeSantis interview 02:10DeSantis has maneuvered himself into a solid political position. If he judges that Trump is too strong to oppose in the 2024 primary, he has the luxury of a gubernatorial term that will run through 2026, assuming he wins what is looking like a manageable reelection in November.
Hear Gov. Ron DeSantis's response when asked about anti-Semitic incidents in Florida 03:46DeSantis also grabbed a national spotlight earlier this week, when he lashed out at critics who complained he was slow to condemn a small group of protesters who waved Nazi flags and chanted anti-Semitic slogans near Orlando last weekend.
