Ron DeSantis is 44 years old, quite close to that line. He is likely to be candidate for your presidency one of these years. You may not like him - or maybe you do - but he seems to be quite viable. If your former president does not get in the way he is likely to be the candidate for the Republican party and with that the next president of the USA given the dearth of viable candidates on "the other side".
- Fatnino 4y agoI think Gavin Newsom can take on DeSantis. Don't know who would win, but it wouldn't be a blowout.
- the_third_wave 4y agoNewsom is probably their most viable candidate, true. If the population statistics are anything to go by he won't be able to win seeing how as people move (they often call it 'flee') from California to Florida (and Texas and some other places but Florida seems to be the #1 destination?). Newsom is also burdened with a number of scandals which DeSantis thus far seems to have avoided, all the more remarkable since Newsom mostly has the media on his side. California is also marked by a number of problems which Florida has largely avoided, from rolling blackouts to cities being taken over by homeless encampments and more. This would make the debate centre around Newsom which does not bode well for his chances.
