DeSantis Courts Trump Support For Casey's Gubernatorial Run
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 2 hours ago
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is poised to meet with former President Donald Trump, sparking speculation about his wife, Casey DeSantis, potentially entering the gubernatorial race in 2026.
Sources indicate that during this critical meeting in Washington, DeSantis is expected to advocate for Casey to succeed him, should they decide to pursue that route.
The political landscape in Florida is heating up as DeSantis maneuvers to maintain influence within the Republican Party, especially in light of rising support for Representative Byron Donalds.
Donalds is seen as a strong contender backed by a faction of the MAGA movement, receiving endorsements from noted Trump allies such as Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Cory Mills.
DeSantis's recent outreach to key donors suggests he’s actively discouraging financial support for Donalds while rallying backing for his wife’s potential campaign.
This tactic appears to be a bid to defer the decision on Casey's gubernatorial run until a clearer picture emerges of party dynamics and voter sentiment.
The rivalry from the previous Republican presidential primary remains fresh, but both leaders seem to be focusing on what unites them rather than what has divided them.
Observers remain curious about whether DeSantis’s meeting with Trump will yield any affirmative signals for Casey DeSantis’s candidacy.
Should she choose to run, it would not only represent a significant move within state politics but could effectively extend the DeSantis legacy in Tallahassee, albeit under a new banner.
Critics within the party have raised questions about her qualifications to follow in her husband’s footsteps, with some dismissive comparisons to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Despite this chatter, Casey has already carved out a niche within her husband’s administration, demonstrating preparedness through her involvement in state governance.
The Republican Governor's Association is set to convene this week, an event that could potentially provide clarity around these ambitious plans and outline the future for the DeSantis family in Florida politics.
With the political currents shifting rapidly, this meeting signifies more than just a discussion—it could be a defining moment that shapes the GOP’s future direction in the Sunshine State.
