How DeSantis navigates Trump – who already has started attacking him – and how he executes in his job as Florida’s chief executive in the face of intense national scrutiny will determine if he can maintain his momentum for a presidential bid.
Trump complained about the accuracy of the polling on his Truth Social platform without directly attacking DeSantis again.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen with Trump and his legal investigations, so I think he’s bidding his time and playing the long game,” Christian Family Coalition Florida Executive Director Anthony Verdugo said of DeSantis.
“I think he’s focused on doing his job and that’s what I would recommend for any incumbent, to be a candidate for the next office you need to be a good steward of your current one,” said Jamie Miller, a Republican consultant and former executive director of the Florida GOP. “I’m very concerned about what the next legislative session will bring," she said."It could result in a Florida that looks unrecognizable in terms of where we were as a state 10 years, or even just four years ago."Among the issues where there is considerable speculation over what DeSantis will do next: Abortion, guns and conservative education proposals.
DeSantis also may delve back into education policy after major changes this year that included HB 1557, legislation officially known as the Parental Rights in Education Act but dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. That law became one of his signature acts as governor, and some believe the topic is rife to be revisited.
“He seems to use every available option to get there, he’s not constrained by traditional political tactics,” Stone said.
