DeSantis opens door on another presidential bid, 'We'll see'
“In Iowa, the people that voted for Trump, if he wasn’t running, I would have gotten like 90% of those people,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said
Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis is opening the door to another presidential bid. (R) said in an interview with Sean Hannity "we'll see" about a future presidential bid.
“Will you run for president again?” he was asked by conservative news commentator and Fox News personality Sean Hanity, in a clip released Monday of an episode Tuesday of the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity,” podcast, according to the Miami Herald.
DeSantis, whose gubernatorial term ends next year, said, “We’ll see.”
The GOP governor lost badly in his party's primary two years ago to eventual President Donald Trump. He only received 21% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses, then dropped out of the race before the primary in New Hampshire.
“In Iowa, the people that voted for Trump, if he wasn’t running, I would have gotten like 90% of those people,” DeSantis said. “They were conservative voters.”
Voters in Iowa “didn’t want the non-conservative,” DeSantis said. “They wanted me.”
“But the timing didn’t work out, obviously, for that. So, you just got to see what happens,” he added.
