As I shared last year, the operation behind Ron DeSantis is much deeper than most can fathom. Arguably and factually, we can trace the origin of the DeSantis ’24 objective all the way back to the end of 2017 just before the midterm 2018 races began.
Ron DeSantis left Congress to go after the Florida governor position in 2018. The political apparatus that supported his shift included the Bush clan GOP faction and his career long support system within the Club for Growth.

It did not matter if Trump won or lost in 2020; DeSantis was removed in ’18 to preposition for ’24. Against that backdrop, the failure to launch in ’24 must have been exceptionally painful for the DeSantis team. So much effort went into it.
