Trump + DeSantis
Connected at the Hip …
Florida, the Sunshine State, will be key to Donald J. Trump’s reelection this November and the stakes may even turn out to be winner-take-all in the already bruising race for the White House against Democrat Joseph R. Biden, the former Vice President of the United States under Barack Obama.
Connected to the 45th president’s hip is Ronald Dion DeSantis, the current Governor of Florida, who as a Congressman before his razor-thin election to the statehouse in 2018 was a vocal and unapologetic defender of Mr. Trump during the first two years of Mr. Trump’s contentious Administration.
The faltering U.S. economy hobbled by the troublesome novel coronavirus pandemic will be a critical factor in determining how Florida voters will judge the reelection efforts of both men. Mr. Trump in 2020, and a rumored planned 2024 run for president by the 46th Governor.
