Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?

The New York Post recently proclaimed him “DeFuture.”  The Florida governor has a lot to recommend himself for the Republican nomination.  A resounding re-election, a strong resume, a coronavirus response rooted in freedom, and a willingness to fight for conservative causes.  At least, that’s the theory.  The practice, as ever, is a lot more complicated… Continue reading Ron DeSantis: Is the Florida governor the Republicans’ only hope?
