Regardless, Biden and the Dems could not be happier because DeSantis was the biggest threat to Biden getting a second term.
Do you not understand the difference between republican primary voters in Iowa versus the general do election where everyone votes?
No, I don't because that's completely illogical. Persuading a MAGA wing is nowhere near the same as peeling off true swing voters.
I know Trumpers are new to this whole politics thing, but you do understand those are two different populations right?
The majority of the country is Pro-Life like DeSantis. The majority of the country isn't fiscally conservative. Those are truths that some of us deal with, and some people whine about to not accept. Don't be someone who rejects truth.
We already saw Trump lose them in 2020. DeSantis won Miami of all places and massively outperformed Trump in Florida in 2022 so he clearly has an appeal to the middle. Youngkin showed the same thing and Sununu and Kemp have shown it for years. Those people hate Trump's unserious clown show antics but are generally supportive of the conservative movement.
This will be clear when Trump loses (again) in November.
