Trump Responds When Asked If He’d Consider DeSantis as His Running Mate
The governor of his home state, Ron DeSantis, is currently Donald Trump’s closest rival in the increasing field of Republican presidential candidates.
According to some political analysts, Trump is likely to easily win the GOP nomination in 2024, which might put him in a rematch with President Joseph Biden. As a result, the GOP primaries are actually about who will come in second place.
