“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently sent planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, but his real target may have been 2024,” USA Today reports.
“The timing of his recent political maneuver comes as Republicans need to motivate their voters to the polls in the midterms, after losing some ground to Democrats over the abortion issue, and also as DeSantis vaults past former President Donald Trump as the top GOP presidential candidate in Florida.”
“If DeSantis and Trump were both on the presidential ballot in Florida, DeSantis would win among Republican voters in the Sunshine State, according to the latest USA Today/Suffolk University Poll. The poll showed an 8-point swing in the governor’s favor since the previous one in January, though neither have declared their candidacy for a presidential run.”
However, the picture is quite different nationally. A new Politico/Morning Consult poll shows Trump with 52% among all Republican voters and DeSantis getting just 19%.
