The podcasts ask DeSantis if he would run for Trump’s vice president

Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on two different podcasts this week and asked the same question: would he accept an invitation from Donald Trump to run as his vice president?

DeSantis said no on Wisconsin Right Now Tuesday and The Howie Carr Show on Wednesday.

“I’m not number two,” DeSantis said.

UCF Political Scientist Aubrey Jewett says some of it is strategic, “If you’re a candidate for president, you don’t start talking about, ‘Sure, I’ll take the vice presidential job.’ Because it’s like you’re resigning to the fact that you won’t win.”

DeSantis’ team spent $4 million on ads in Iowa and volunteers knocked on 165,273 doors. DeSantis is the GOP front-runner by a large margin.

“At this point, it’s more than 50% in almost all the polls that we just look at the Republicans. And so he realizes that he’s in a strong position. He doesn’t have to do those,” said by Jewett.

DeSantis predicted in one of the podcasts that Trump’s lack of effort will be his downfall when it comes to the polls.

“No one has the right to this nomination. You have to get the nomination and do things like the head of the family event in Iowa, doing things like these debates, they’re an important part of the process,” DeSantis said.

The Iowa Caucus’ is scheduled for January 2024.
