Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball: “The calendar year before the presidential primary voting begins is often defined by winnowing, as contenders emerge and then fade.”
“But Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis are taking up so much oxygen that we may already have the top contenders, with everyone else who runs essentially an afterthought.”
“DeSantis is polling well for a non-candidate, but we need to see how he actually performs before assuming that his support is solid.”
