Some Republicans are putting pressure on Florida governor Ron DeSantis to throw his hat into the ring for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Many GOP insiders are pushing DeSantis as the party’s best alternative to former president Trump in 2024. Some of the pressure is coming from Senate lawmakers like Cynthia Lummis [R-WY] of Wyoming who calls DeSantis the “leader of the Republican Party and “He would add an enormously important voice to the race.”Others fear the anti-Trump faction’s singular focus on DeSantis may be misguided. One GOP senator who remained anatomous says momentum for the Florida governor hit its peak after his successful re-election in November, but may be fading over time.
