DeSantis trumps Trump
Mark Moore
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis edged former President Donald Trump as conservatives’ choice for president in 2024 in a straw poll conducted over the weekend — as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson announced that he is not considering a run for the White House.
DeSantis pulled in 74 percent approval to Trump’s 71 percent in the poll conducted at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver. Participants were allowed more than one pick.
The first-term governor, who has endeared himself to conservatives for bucking COVID restrictions and lockdowns, hasn’t said he would mount a campaign in 2024.
But Trump has said that if he runs for re-election, he would be happy to have DeSantis as a running mate.
Carlson wasn’t listed in the straw poll, but he told the “Ruthless” podcast that he has no intention of throwing his hat in the ring, despite previous speculation that he might.
