Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said this week that he is not interested in running as vice president on a presidential ticket with former President Donald Trump – if Trump were to win the 2024 Republican Party nomination.
DeSantis made the remarks on Tuesday during an appearance on the “Wisconsin Right Now” podcast when asked about the idea.
“I’m not a No. 2 guy,” DeSantis said during a podcast this week. “I think I’m a leader. Governor of Florida, I’ve been able to accomplish a lot. I think I probably could do more staying there than being V.P., which doesn’t really have any authority.”
It’s a good indication of how much media is driven by desire for narratives and action that the coverage is so disconnected from the actual progression of the primary race. The race hasn’t budged at all, for almost anyone, since May. pic.twitter.com/G1GRzmQFZJ
