DeSantis aims to secure '7-2 conservative majority' on Supreme Court.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to declare his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, has suggested that he could "fortify" the conservative majority on the Supreme Court for a potential eight years in office, creating a "7-2 conservative majority" that would last for a quarter-century. DeSantis also criticized Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and suggested that he would appoint similarly conservative justices to the court, including replacements for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.
