DeSantis's Presidential Ambitions Tied to Trump's Legacy.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in a difficult position as he seeks to win the Republican Party's presidential nomination for 2024. While he wants to appeal to Trump supporters, he also needs to convince Republicans who want to move on from Trump that he is a more electable alternative. However, DeSantis cannot bring himself to say that Trump lost the 2020 election, which could hurt his chances in the primary debates. His biggest allies have declared Trump's loss, but DeSantis himself has refused to comment on the issue.
