Analysis: Miami’s GOP mayor on why he hasn’t spoken with DeSantis in years and what he wants from Biden
Yeah, of course I’ve thought about it. Looking at the landscape, the former president has already declared. No one else has since. I think that’s an interesting dynamic that I expect to change at some point. For me, it’d be no different than for [DeSantis, who is also considering a presidential run]. It's a soul-searching process. It is essentially the most rigorous gauntlet that any human being subjects themselves to, in terms of scrutiny, in terms of time. We both have small children.
. I grew up in that environment. So I'm always very conscientious of how my role as a public figure impacts my children and my family.I don’t have a time frame. I know this sounds very cliche, but I'm sort of taking one day at a time.. Who do you see as the most Reaganesque Republicans today?I try to be. I try to be Reaganesque in terms of [being] inclusive, someone who can communicate. I think communication is critical. I think semantics matter.
In Miami, I think we radically believe in American entrepreneurship and the ability to work hard and control your destiny and risk capital. That’s what makes Miami different. The Republican-Democrat lens in Miami has crystallized stronger around that socialism framework. Trump's Venezuela policy, rolling back Obama's Cuba policy — I think that brought a lot of Venezuelans and Cubans to the Republican side. And I don't think that Marco or the governor have done anything to lose them.
